[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.

Being able to hear the ticking when I'm trying to sleep is my own personal hell. There is some kind of kafkaesque torture in being forced to be aware of the precise passage of time while trying to fall asleep.

Anyway, that's my Timex flyback chronograph which I love but cannot keep anywhere nearby at night.

Im actually glad to hear that other people find that calming.
