It's because majority of the people in this world are right handers so they wear the watch in their non-dominant hand (left). The reason is sometime watch can be inconveient when you write and if you where it in your dominant hand the are high chances for it to got broken.

Is it? I never know that boys should wear watch in left hand and girls on right hand. I much as know mostly both genders are wearing their watch on left hand.
