Prefer top-right badge. R1 badge position yields a "compact fc660" layout (heard it referred to as that at some point), which is far more widespread than the top right badge position. I'm sure there are others with top-right badges, but only Iron165 and 910 come to mind easily - very good company to be in, design-wise.
I bought R1 and really liked the quality, looks, and feel. I would probably be in for R2 as well, though the boating theme would make it a hard pass for me. I don't find that theme appealing at all and don't understand how it fits into this community.
