Well, just got mine yesterday. It's certainly a sturdy, interesting-looking watch. But one thing I've noticed is that through the caseback you can see a black (black for the Phantom model at least) semicircular adornment on top of the watch's mechanism that has Zinvo Blade printed on it. It shifts/spins freely due to gravity whenever the watch moves, and that movement causes it slight grating/rattling noise. Is that normal? That noise is actually pretty annoying.
(I'm a noob when it comes to watches, so sorry for any poor descriptions)

ScionydeThat is what spins when you wind the watch up, as for a rattle sound, mine doesn't have that problem, though when it shakes you can hear the gears being turned a little.

SobeDragon8Thanks for the reply! Mine only seems to spin a little on winding when I lay it flat on the table, and even then it only moves for part of the circle with the tiny winding gear and grooved section. If it moves beyond that section of the circle, it stops - it never makes a full rotation. It doesn't move at all if I wind the watch while holding it up vertically (aside from settling to the bottom due to gravity). And like I mentioned, outside of winding it's completely free-turning and makes a small metal-on-metal noise when it does so.
That sound off to you?

ScionydeWhen you wind it, are you shaking it correctly to get the gears turning? Once you wind it, you need to give it a little shake to get it started. As for it stopping, it should be doing full rotations, I get a little noise while it's spinning, but nothing that would sound bad to me. When not wound, it should be free moving.

SobeDragon8Ah, I see what you're saying. Well, really it's the sound of the free moving that is bothering me a little, but that's in the relative silence of my apartment. I'll wear it to work for a few days and see how noticeable it is.
Thanks!
