Due to way the series in constructed, the downside is the weight. Nevertheless, IMHO is not excessive.
To eliminate the problem of pinching by the protruding crown, it is important that the watch is worn snug to the wrist. If you prefer to wear the watch loose you may be faced with that problem as it is a heavy timepiece and will shift rather vigorously if not fit properly.
do u find Ball hydrocarbon series heavy ? and potruding crown ? is heavy like Breitling..
