Apple Watch reverse crown

[dhill7]

So i tried it for like 15 minutes.... got mad and went back to the normal way i guess

I tried it today and I didn’t like how the screen looked weird so I turn it back!

Loving the reverse crown. The watch feels more secure when I use my index finger to anchor the non-crown side and then press the crown with my thumb.

Not sure why so many are saying it "looks wrong" or whatever. I've had my watch this way for years because any time I'm doing pushups or bench presses Siri likes to cut off my music to tell me she couldn't quite hear what I'm saying and that got reeeeally annoying. I've posted pictures of this so many times and not once has anybody ever commented on the orientation.

I find the crown easier to use with my thumb while the other button is a little more tricky but I so rarely use it that it's barely worth mentioning.

The only challenge I'm running into with the reverse crown strategy is pressing the Digital Crown and side button at the same time, such as when pausing/resuming a workout. The solution seems to either to swipe and pause or twist my right hand around to the buttons on the left side of the watch in a kung-fu type grip.

Still happy with my switch and impressed Apple gave us an easy way to wear our watches the way we want!!!

As a Lefty wearing this on my right wrist, I am used to it looking that way, but I will say I ALWAYS thought Apple should have placed the crown in the middle and the button middle on the opposite side. Then it would be balanced and symmetrical, and look the same regardless of which way it was worn. Lefty or Righty, the crown is still unbalanced in the top right or bottom left position.

I am ambi. I have worn it both ways on both wrists. My favourite, by far is right wrist with crown toward elbow!!!
