Haptic Feedback Loud

[16Paws]

I just started to notice that my haptic feedback (taptic... whatever) is considerably louder than my wife's watch. Anyone else noticing that when alarms go off or when there is any vibration you can audibly hear the vibration when it is on your wrist? My wife commented she could hear it from the other side of the dinner table (about 10 feet).

I am wondering if there is something wrong with the watch or if I am going crazy.

I'll trade you watches.

Couple other threads on here about haptic. Seems to be very hit or miss for people. Mine is pretty weak, so I plan on taking it to the Apple Store this weekend and seeing if I can get a new watch.

There seems to be real inconsistency for the haptic motors.

I had the same problem with my 38mm SS model. I found that it was the digital crown rattling and I really liked the silent notification aspect that the watch offers, so I brought it into an Apple store and they thought it was odd for it to be rattling like that and replaced it for me. You're definitely not alone and Apple will more than likely try to fix it for you.

Also, do you and your wife have different models? Because of the different materials and straps, some people notice that the taptic engine has a difference sound and feel on, for example, an aluminium Sport with the sport band, when compared to a stainless steel Watch with a link bracelet.

Fella.

Yes, I would agree - probably different suppliers if anything. Mine is perfectly silent yet operates strongly but I have encountered friends' watches w/ haptic motors that sound while operating.

This variance is KNOWN widely in the iPhone community (different sounding motion motors)

Mine makes a loud ping from the speaker when a text comes through but sometimes I don't even notice/feel the vibration from the haptic feedback.
