Apple watch series 8 haptics very loud

[hepokatt1]

Since I changed from series 6 to 8 I noticed that the haptics were disruptive loud. For example I had to stop using haptics with the breathe app. I thought that maybe it just takes time to get use to it, but after about 9 months I still find haptics disruptive. I have used same (original) sport loops with series 6 and 8.

It seems that it depends the position of the watch how loud the haptics are (video). So when alarm wakes me up in the morning, it varies that when I almost get a heart attack and when not.

Now I'm wondering, that is this normal or is there something wrong with my watch? Obviously haptic setting is default, not prominent.

I believe that the band is not too loose. And it doesn't even help with the problem if I tighten the band VERY tight.

I’ve had every version of watch and none are any where near as intrusive as that. I mean, almost dead-silent. That is faulty IMO.

Yeah, sounds broken to me. I’d make a trip to the Apple shop.

yes, that sounds faulty, module probably not firmly attached/loose. And especially if it varies depending on orientation that's even more indicative.

Thank you very much for answers I'll go to the official repair shop.
