- SEIKO Rotor Noise and Rattle | Is this normal?
Does your automatic Seiko Watch make a weird rattling noise when you shake the watch? It also feels like the movement or rotor vibrates and is loose. It's the rotor, which is used to wind the watch. If your watch makes the same noise as mine, it's normal!
here you can hear the Seiko rotor noise:

Thank you very much for making this. I just bought my first automatic through the mail, and you've saved me a trip to the repair shop just to ask "is this normal?"
Great video!!!! I cannot explain how much I thank u for doing this video! Glad to be subscribed! Greetings from Argentina
Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed it. Un saludo!
Argentina....Congratulation to win ARG - ENG 2-1
It's a moving part inside a closed case. Of course it will make some noise
If worry about NOISE then buy Quart watches also made by Seiko
Quartz I Mean
Normal to me......I used Seiko,Citizen.....Automatic all my life. I am 70 years old Do not worry ..if they are ON TIME then WORRY FREE OK Young man! If not ON TIME then begin to worry but again You buy SEIKO you buy a WORRY FREE
Thank you for input sir...
When you tap a case containing a Seiko NH movement there is a rattling noise, normal.
in mine tapit and sound like layer od fomething lose
@@alvisgineika9306 that’s what I thought
I have a new watch with Miyota 9015, and just checked, and it makes the same noise... so I would say it's normal.
Also, don't spend money on service every 5 years. New watches have synthetic oils and pretty much don't need anything till they start to lose time... like 3-4 minutes a day.
7S26 is in house Seiko with many years....Miyota is Citizen .... all Japan make....but AUTO are some noise is NORMAL my Seiko I buy from 1972 Nerver open for service and still running to today.....To me not need any services.....Run to see..no more running then sent it to Seiko and let them STUDY....Seiko will payback to you too!! I'm 70 and so far I do not have a Seiko stop running yet???!!!
@@ThepDenNgoaiBien True, also... don't sent anything to Seiko. You have a local watchmaker who can service 7S26 with no problem.
Thanks man i was a little scared because it sounded like there was water in mine. A lot less stressed out now
Glad the video helped! If there's water in the watch, the crystal will usually fog up on the inside
Where did you get that bracelet? It looks cool and i'm tired of the jubilee bracelet that has my skx. Thanks and great video!
It's an oyster style bracelet from Strapcode /Miltat. You can either buy it on their website or on Amazon, which is where I got it. Make sure you buy the one for SKX and not for Seiko 5, which looks the same, but it might not fit!
"22mm Super-O Boyer Watch Band compatible with Seiko SKX007"
leather....no NOISE if you like
My Seiko Turtle sounds the same. Got a entirely new movement, still sounds the same. It's a Seiko thing which, in my case, took some time getting used too. But it runs waaayyy more accurate then my Swiss made automatic (that does not make any noises...)
Thank you for sharing! Interesting that your swiss watch runs so much worse than your Seiko. My SKX is slightly more accurate than my PRX, but i'm happy with both
My 7s26 in house classic Seiko still run when I was young man..now I'm 70 still run....
Japanese watch make. car make....always RECALL themself before happen....SEIKO always said INEXPENSIVE, LAST LONG and BEAUTY...
have you tried tightening the screw that holds the rotor?
I can't tighten it more. The bearing probably doesn't have the best tolerances
there is a torques spec...do not over tight....They did check from SEIKO factory!
My two first automatic watch had Seiko movement, no issue at all, and now I just bought a new watch with a Miyota 8215 and I feel like I have a bell at my wrist, it's very annoying. I really wonder if it's expected or not, sound like what I can hear on your video but much stronger I think.
Miyota movements are known for being loud, so what you experience is most likely normal
My $1,400 Presage also makes the noise your third one makes.
Same issue, the sound is very annoying
@@some2913 sent mine to seiko and they told me that the sounds are normal. 🤦♂️ mine didn’t make sound for the first few times I worn it….which i explained to the service rep
@@OkiDingojust bought my presage and have the exact same experience. Didn't made a sound the first week but now does. What happened after that?
If Automatic then Some Noise you can hear! NORMAL
@@ThepDenNgoaiBien automatic is mechenical right? Thanks!
I have thought about that too!!!
I have the same seiko diver’s watch and it rattles like how you described. Is it something worrying?
No, it's not worrying. From what I know it's completely normal
Great video and piece of mind. I own an Omega Seamaster 300m with the caliber 8800 and it developt the same noise.
Thank you! If it didn't make the noise when you got it, then maybe get it checked or compare it to another Omega in the store. I have no experience with high end watches, so I don't know what to expect
Hello! Many thanks for the video. Got my Addiesdive with the NH35 and was wandering if the sound is ok.
Does anyone know will the watch work properly if I just remove the rotor and use the thing without it? So just to wind it up by myself every day.
The sound you hear is probably ok if it's similar to the one in the video. You can remove the rotor, but then you will have to wind the watch manually, which you will get bored of very quickly, as it takes much longer to wind manually than a "regular" manually wound watch. I recommend you just get used to it. You can also try to tighten down the rotor, because the one on my Steeldive is a bit quiter than my Seiko SKX, so it doesn't bother me at all. Good luck!!!
Thanks a lot, my Seiko sounds like "sheet of metal lose" when tap it or like a sheet not tight and vibrates when tap. the old Heuer nothing at all, but can hear the tic tok at night (is kind of loud) even is a diver and thicker ... but has worked fine for long, thanks for the video ,,,, by the way have an extra 4R35 around🙂
I've added a link in the description to a video where you can hear the noise well. Does your watch sound like mine, or does it also make a scraping sound?
SEnd back to SEIKO near you
Do you think this is going to be the same for Grand Seiko
Just found out Cartier watches are like this too. So from what I've noticed so far, every mechanical watch has some play in the rotor bearing. For Seiko watches it is much more noticeable though. I guess Grand Seiko will be on par with other high end watches, so you would only feel/ hear it if you really pay attention to it!
NOMOS rattles, too
I have an old Pocket watch that makes that noise But it doesn't have a router.
It could be that the movement isn't screwed to the case of the pocket watch, and only held in place by the crown. Probably not an issue
