==Handedness== Wristwatches with analog displays generally have a small knob, called the crown, that can be used to adjust the time and, in mechanical watches, wind the spring. Almost always, the crown is located on the right-hand side of the watch so it can be worn of the left wrist for a right-handed individual. This makes it inconvenient to use if the watch is being worn on the right wrist. Some manufacturers offer "left-hand drive", aka "destro", configured watches which move the crown to the left side<ref>{{cite web|url=http://wornandwound.com/a-guide-to-destro-watches-from-sinn-muhle-citizen-and-more/|title=A Guide to "Destro": Watches from Sinn, Mühle, Citizen, and More - Worn & Wound|date=10 May 2016|website=Wornandwound.com|access-date=28 October 2017|archive-date=23 August 2017|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170823124119/http://wornandwound.com/a-guide-to-destro-watches-from-sinn-muhle-citizen-and-more/|url-status=live}}</ref> making wearing the watch easier for left-handed individuals. A rarer configuration is the bullhead watch. Bullhead watches are generally, but not exclusively, [[chronograph]]s. The configuration moves the crown and chronograph pushers to the top of the watch. Bullheads are commonly wristwatch chronographs that are intended to be used as stopwatches off the wrist. Examples are the Citizen Bullhead Change Timer<ref>CITIZEN "BULLHEAD" CHALLENGE TIMER</ref> and the [[Omega Seamaster]] Bullhead.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.hodinkee.com/articles/hands-on-with-the-omega-seamaster-bullhead-live-pics-pricing|title=Hands-On: With The Omega Seamaster Bullhead (Live Pics + Pricing)|website=Hodinkee.com|access-date=28 October 2017|archive-date=2 August 2017|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170802210638/https://www.hodinkee.com/articles/hands-on-with-the-omega-seamaster-bullhead-live-pics-pricing|url-status=live}}</ref> Digital watches generally have push-buttons that can be used to make adjustments. These are usually equally easy to use on either wrist.
