Watson's water hammer pulse is the medical sign which describes a pulse that is bounding and forceful, as if it were the hitting of a water hammer that was causing the pulse.

This is caused by the widened pulse pressure of aortic regurgitation.

Also named separately and thus also known as Corrigan's pulse.
