tyrantblade 0 Posted September 6, 2011 This morning it stopped working, so I shook it some to get it going and reset the time, and now if I listen as I shake it (even just a little bit) I can hear noises coming from it Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Stormcrow 0 Posted September 6, 2011 When I first got my watch, I put it to my ear a lot. I learnt quickly not to. Unless it stops working. Or it seems like something is loose/broken. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dendo 93 Posted September 6, 2011 @tyrantblade Are you sure it is not just a noisy rotor blade turning as you move the watch?? If so it is okay or needs oiled - but be careful if you do not know what you are doing and what oil to use. Also - most watch backs come off easily with no scratches using a deflated soft small rubber ball (you can by one from this site) or a ball of rolled up duct tape or equivalent. I would really not use pliers if you do not know what you are doing (and especially if you do :P)! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wat44 0 Posted September 6, 2011 is the sound a "largeish" clunky sound? or a small, rattley sound? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
greg_r 83 Posted September 7, 2011 If it's a fat, squishy sound, you're in trouble as the hamster may have diarrhoea. Otherwise it's probably the rotor bearing you're hearing Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
