A lot of watch reviewers dislike audible ticking. I like it. Sounds like a heartbeat. And when I'm on smoke break with my precious ten minutes of freedom, it's nice to have such a pretty thing on my wrist to time it by.

@oceaniceternity outside of personal preference, it’s not just a weird bias of watch enthusiasts. Audible ticking is often associated with the idea of poor quality/bad oil/broken seal. A bit like when a rotor is too noisy.
