I just bought a new watch a Le Chateau 7080 m. I really love the watch but it seems to hurt my wrist a little. I am don't think it is too tight. When I did the sizing I could fit my pinky finger between my arm and the band. I heard that is how the watch show be. The piece that hurts the most is the part that you pull out to change the time. Sorry I am not sure what the name of that is. It gets pushed against the back of my hand right above my wrist. I am just not sure if it is something that I just need to get use to. The watch is much heavier then anything I have had before. I will post a picture of the watch.

I really don't want to put a link back in because I hate the watch to move around on my wrist too much.

Yup..that's the crown....you're going to have to get used to it. unless you tighten up the band a bit so it doesn't slide around and dig into your hand.

Wear it for a while and you might get used to it.

Or just bite down on a leather strap when it hurts too much.

X2

Some actually wear their watch on the other wrist just for that reason. If you tighten the bracelet to tight then when you wrist swells insummer it maybe too tight. Me I have yet to have a problem with the crown on any of my watches, but I do wear them above the wrist bone.

Show a photo with the watch on your wrist. My guess is that you probably are wearing it too low. You can try to wear it a tiny bit higher up your wrist.

I guess what I should ask is will my hand get use to the crown being against it after awhile

I'm left handed, and I've always wondered why watches are made so that the crown digs into your hand. I've never had a watch dig into my arm! I realize that a right handed person can adjust their watch without taking it off, but I've never felt the need. OP, consider wearing it on your right wrist.

Give it some more time. If after a couple months it is still bothering you it may be time to look for another watch.

Thanks for the suggestion

Just dug up this thread while trying to decide exactly where on my wrist my watch should fit. Your question got me wondering about why the crown digs into the back of the hand when worn on the left wrist. It occurred to me the reason might not be so right handers (most people) can use the crown while wearing the watch as much as it is probably because right handed people would probably be more comfortable holding the watch in the left hand and manipulating the crown with the right - therefore they put the crown to the right of the dial.

BTW, I think I like the watch just above the bone - the case sits nice and flat on my wrist, it doesn't interfere with the use of my hand or wrist, and the crown doesn't dig into the back of my hand. It also seems more comfortable because the bracelet fits nice and flat all the way around. It doesn't go over the bone, where the bracelet can tilt and the side dig into the skin.

Try wearing it just above the wrist bone. Shouldn't be a problem there.

Edit: Oops...didn't realize this was such an old thread.

Have you thought about wearing the watch around your ankle instead?
