Interesting: trying to "hear" a low frequency crystal using a microphone...
it should be hard: the crystal has to make the case vibrate and this is

Has anybody "listened" to such a watch?  (with a microphone)

Can you hear both the 32KHz basic timekeeping as well as the "tick" when
the
second hand takes a step?

Not only that, but 32,000 Hz is about 12,000 Hz higher than the highest frequency that we are supposed to be able to hear. . .
