n Can you hear your watch vibrating?

[Miguel Alvarez]

I've been meaning to post this for a while. A few times I've fell asleep on the sofa with my watch hand between the arm rest and my head and I've heard what sounds like a ufo style vibrating sound.

Does anyone else notice this?

that'll be the self winding automatic mechanism in your watch won't it? unless you have a manual wind-up one or digital one in which case I've not no idea!

Oh yeah the watch is definitely automatic. It's just strange. I've never noticed this before in the past 4/5 years of having auto watches. Now I've heard it I seem to hear it all the time.

I always hear mine when I change gear and the vibration of the gear lever sets the mechanism off!

I have two automatics; one is near silent unless you have it close to your ear, and I love that about it. The other is, shall we say, less silent. More like having a toy on your wrist. I would like to do something with it to quieten it down, because I love the watch.
