Thanks for the update and sorry the watch ultimately let you down. I am somewhat surprised to hear so many people complain about the rotor noise. I own a Timex Marlin which I believe has the same myota movement. When I hold the watch and shake it I can certainly hear the rotor. However, when it's on wrist and I'm going about my day, I don't hear it at all. When I'm by myself in my quiet home office and working at my computer the rotor is a non-issue, ie, not the least bit noisy or distracting. I'm very surprised that other people were able to hear your watch in a public library.
I think the marlin is better in that regard...I own other watches with the same movement and I have no issues with those. I think this comes down to the build of the case ...
You are 100% right. I wish I had come across this first! Jingle bells jingle bells... No it's my watch we are in march!? Rotor noise is super loud, the loudest I have ever heard I think. I will say timex are proud and encourage their watches to be a bit ticky, didn't expect to hear beyblades in my head all day long though. The price point, again spot on. I got it new and very cheap, I would be screaming bloody murder if I paid even over £100 for it I think. It's beautiful to look at, very comfortable and easy to wear, complements most outfits and is simply elegant. But not a £250 watch IMO. Most watches now over £100 have sapphire crystal, even £30 benyar watches (not knocking benyar) but that's a cheaaaap watch and it still trumps the timex on a few aspects. And the strap, you are right about that too. It's not the nicest, and it's far from the comfiest leather strap too. Now I feel like I have reworded your video, but it feels good although at the same time bad to see someone else's view and opinion similar to my own. I, the same as you, have had people say 'na yours is just loud, it's broke or something', but no it was brand new out of the box making a ruckus. Great video by the way, you say it straight and cut right to it. Good on you, where's all the support for this guy!!
I understand now, shame because its such a nice watch. I've had good 8000 series and bad ones too, they don't seem to be as consistent as Seiko. Shame really. Hopefully you'll find something better suited.
Thanks for this follow up review! I think I'll go with a Marlin instead of a Waterbury for a Timex automatic. I have several quartz Waterburys and they are fantastic, especially when not paying retail.

Bello vedere giovani appassionati di orologi. Bravo. 👍
Grazie mille!
For the price of this one is really good value.
