I want to change the option of which wrist I wear the watch on, on my samsung gear s3 frontier. It's an old watch yes, but I remember being able to change that option, but can't find anymore.

The option isn't there in settings>general too, nor can I find any option to change so on the Samsung gear or Samsung health app. Please help me.

You can definitely change the orientation.  Go to the Wear app/watch settings/general/orientation.  You have to scroll all the way down to orientation - it may not be visible on your screen. There you can switch the orientation to switch hands.

I see NO orientation in wear app > general.

this is what I see when I open the wear app and on the default home screen (out of three, the other two being "watch faces" and "discover") and click "general" :

 

Input:

  • default keyboard
  • keyboard settings

Text-to-speech:

  • Languages
  • Speech rate
  • a bar to change the speech rate from slow to fast

Reset.

is there any way I can insert images and show a screenshot too?

Tou should see this. You can insert a screen ahot, by taking the screenshot and clicking the '+' next to the text input window in the app and inserting the picture from your gallery.1721308405922.jpg

yes there is no such option for me. could it be because gear s3 is almost 7 years old?

@KrishBhatt I no longer have my Gear S3 but I think the ability to change the watch orientation may have came with Wear OS. So it would be available from the Galaxy Watch 4 and later.

I see. it could be the case but for some reason I remember being able to change which wrist I wear my watch on. could it have been that that specific feature has been removed from this specific device?

You may have been able to change it in an older version of the Wear app.  A newer version may no longer have that option for that particular watch.  I know I had it for the watch2 active, but I haven't had that watch connected for a while, so I can't see if it's still there.
