I am looking for what i call my “in between” watch. That being between my scratched up Casio digital beater and my “nice” watch.(Rolex GMT circa 2006). I am looking at the newer Citizen Promaster series, but in the last few years they are putting the crowns at 4:00. I don’t think I will like it there.
Does the crown at 4:00 offer any advantages over 3:00? Does it dig into your wrist? I guess I can get used to the look of it, I was just wondering what other Redditors experiences are.
If anything it should be slightly better, as the crown at 4 will be tucked slightly more neatly against the case and less likely to stick out into your wrist.
Whether this is an issue of course will depend on exactly how you wear your watch - I wear mine fairly loose and have never had an issue with a crown before (3 or 4 o’clock versions), but if you keep your watch cinched in tight up against your wrist it may be more of an issue.
