Fenix 5X Plus has a rattling sound when vibrating

Former Member over 4 years ago

Has anyone had an issue with their Fenix 5x plus or other watch having a terrible rattle start when the vibration starts. Definitely sounds like something has come loose. Any info or feedback is appreciated.

If the vibration mechanism in your watch sounds extremely weak to normal or is now very loud, it has become defective. Please reach out to Outdoor Product Support in your region for further assistance…

Yes, can confirm that. Mine had this from the beginning. I think it's normal. It is not a high quality vibration element than we can find in modern smartphones.
