[question] What is your loudest ticking watch? (alien.top)

I know this is strange, but I prefer loud watches that I can occasionally hear audibly in quiet environments. I find that it’s kind of calming or grounding for me for some reason. One of my cheapest watches (Orient Bambino V2) has gotten tons of wrist time for me, just because I like how it sounds.

What are your loudest tickers?

Timex expedition scout it’s so loud it’s not allowed in the bedroom at night but when I’m actually wearing it day to day it’s a non issue

“It takes a licking and keeps on ticking.” They knew what they were doing

When I first got my expedition I went nuts the first night trying to figure out where that sound was coming from in my room haha

I read this often but I cannot hear my scout at all. Quite room, ear to the watch, nothing. Maybe mum was right and the music was too loud when I was young.
