Watch Crown Digging Into Your Hand? Here's How to Fix It

You love the watch, but every time you bend your wrist the crown jabs the back of your hand. It's a surprisingly common complaint, and it's almost always about how the watch sits, not the watch itself.
Why it happens
When a watch is even slightly loose, it shifts, bringing the crown into contact with your hand. A heavier watch head makes it worse, since gravity pulls it down your wrist while moving your arm and wrist.
Removing links and micro-adjustments as temporary solutions
Removing a link or performing a micro-adjustment can improve the fit, but they may not always a lasting solution. Your wrist naturally expands and contracts throughout the day due to temperature, activity, and hydration, so a bracelet that feels perfect in the morning may become too tight—or too loose—just a few hours later. Simply wearing your watch higher on your wrist is also usually only a temporary fix.
The real fix: keep the watch centered
If you stop the watch from shifting, sliding, and rotating, the crown stops digging in. Linx adhesive cushions take up the space that lets the watch move, holding it centered and upright on your wrist. The caseback cushion also lifts the watch a hair off your skin, softening contact and keeping the watch in its desired position. Together that keeps the crown where it belongs, off the back of your hand.
See it in action — here's the 60-second how-to:
Bonus comfort
No more arm-hair pulling under the bracelet.
A steadier, better-looking fit on the wrist.
Metal bracelet look, with the feel of a leather strap. No more compromising looks for comfort.
Stop the jab for good. Linx cushions keep your watch centered and the crown off your hand. Try them risk-free for 30 days.
