Only if it’s the bracelet.

Congratulations!
There is no rotor to spin or rattle or need to be shaken. the poster above is correct the only rattle might be the bracelet

Congrats! Merry Christmas to you. I agree with what was said above as it seems some component(s) of a watch bracelet can create similar sounds under the right circumstances.

I've had this happen before with other watches and it was extremely difficult to determine if it was the movement of the bracelet.

Keep playing around with it gently and see if you're able to isolate this.

I’ve removed the bracelet and still jingles no pun intended. I guess a trip to the AD tomorrow.

I'm sorry to hear this! At least it's under warranty or can be fixed either way. Hopefully this process is a quick and easy one for you.

I know for Swatch Canada warranty work is no charge to have sent in via the AD and takes priority with the watchmakers. Fingers crossed.

Good news, I removed the bracelet again and shook it around no rattle. Had my wife to confirm no rattle (Christmas miracle). Put the bracelet back on and there was the rattle. Very much relived. Cant wait to start enjoying this moon watch!
