      Hi all! Just got my first Suunto watch ever - Race titanium and I realized, that if I knock on the body, no matter if on glass or from side to body, the whole watch starts to strangely vibrating, like a heavy spring swinging. Is that normal? Has it to do something with sapphire glass? Does anybody has same experience?

        @Jan-Suchánek mine does the same and I think it’s normal. I’m sure it’s unrelated to sapphire glass. I can think of the vibration motor or some other internal part, like flexible PCB may cause it.

          Mine doesn’t. If I knock on the watch body there is just a faint vibration form the inside. Never read others complaining for this, I guess there could be something loose in yours

            Never noticed this before. I’d never have if I haven’t read it here. It does seem to vibrate a little after a knock on it, but it is very very subtle, totally unnoticeable in normal use. Mine is a steel variant, so it might be different from titanium.

              Today it seems much lower noise than yesterday. It’s hearable only with knocking with nail on bezel at 4 o’clock - above back button. I have no problem with that, just never see that🙂.

                  @Jan-Suchánek the question is, WHY you would ever do that in a normal use case 😅. I am pretty sure that there are some unusual sensory reactions from your watch, when one use it in a „uncommon“ way. My guess would be, that the vibration motor is sitting in that area, where you tick with your finger and you kind of manually trigger a vibration.

                    No, it´s like from the glass. The glass is resonating IMHO. It starts to make this sound even with knocking on the screen.

                      @Jan-Suchánek ah… that makes sense too. At least there is some music „on“ the watch 🤣

                        You don’t touch the screen with finger? Never hit it by nail? That’s how I first feel this…

                          @Jan-Suchánek after reading your watch, I tried different methods but mine never vivrates. I am pretty sure a lot of forum users tried too 😅
