Question for Seiko Owners.
Hi Guys,
I'm looking at adding a Seiko to the collection , Specifically a Turtle not sure yet if a Padi or Save the Ocean version. I've never owned any Seikos and I'm wondering if Seiko Rotors are noisy?, This might sound like a strange question but asking because I've had ETA based watches in the past in which I hated the rotor noise (7750 models). So is the Turtle mvmt noisy like an ETA or not?? Thanks. |

Yes, you can hear it swirling around. Still fun watches though.

I don't hear mine when it's on my wrist.

I think you can hear any rotor if you put it up to your ear. When wearing my Seiko's I can't hear it.

mine is quieter than a 7750.
get the turtle......it's a great looking watch, wears waaay smaller than it's actual size, and it's a freakin bargain for a quality automatic dive watch |

It’s definitely quieter than 7750

I can hear it more on my SKX than on the Turtle, but it's not as loud as the rotor on my Steinhart with the ETA 2824-2.

I've got a Seiko diver that I can feel the rotor moving in.

If you raise it up from your waist to your ear you may hear a quiet discernable swirl.
But who cares? This is Seiko. Enjoy it for what it is. Mine's a Frost Monster. Gets more compliment than my ( invisible ) DJ Cheers |
