Forerunner 255 vibration noise

4903419

Just got the Garmin Forerunner 255. Overall, I'm quite happy with the watch. However, at the end of each vibration for alarms, notifications, etc., there's a noticeable tap/click noise. It sounds like "bzzzz click bzzzz click." Is this normal, or should I return it for a replacement?

    If anyone is hearing a strange or rattling noise when the device vibrates, please contact Garmin Product Support directly. Thank you!

    I have the same issue. The click is really annoying and much louder than my old 245. I contacted garmin product support and sent a video. They said the sound was "normal" for the 255 but couldn't explain why it was so much louder than my 245. The click makes the watch sound cheap. I hear it more than I feel the vibration. Quite disappointed with this considering I love everything else about the watch.

    In the end, I asked a lot of people who own the 255, and it turns out the noise is completely normal. What I did was go on Facebook Marketplace and ask several sellers specifically about that sound. Around five people sent me videos of the vibration, and you can hear the exact same noise in all of them.
