I always thought it looked kind of off, but with the Ultra it almost makes more sense, the only thing I'm worried about is how the bulge would feel against forearm as opposed to wrist.
I hear you.
For me, it's always been that way. I'm left-handed and wear watches on my right wrist, with the crown away from my wrist.
When I got the S0, I was initially excited, because I could wear the crown on the wrist side. But I quickly saw that I was getting crown presses all the time. So I flipped it around and viola! no more wrist presses.
That's yet another cool feature of the AW...you can choose the wrist and crown orientation.
My Ultra will be here today. It's been a good run with Ti Editions (S5, S6, S7) but I can't wait for the new form factor!!
