Good question! Only public vids count for the 4k watch hrs (Creator Studio shows a combo of public & private views). Views retroactively made on private/unlisted videos doesn't count , so it's a good idea to set some of your vids to public to start getting more public watch hrs.
@TeamYouTube Does unlisted videos count as watchtime when I apply for monetization of my channel
If no, does it count retroactively if I made them public afterwords?
