Magnetization. A simple test.

[spain72]

To check if your watch has been "magnetized", it should be sufficient to set it next to a compass.
If the hands (of the compass, obviuosly) spin, the watch is magnetic.

Magnetic fields are all around us: freezers, hairdriers, smart-pnones , ........ closures and so on.

Considerations are welcome. Pro or versus...

Take care!

The hand of a compass will deflect when placed next to any metal object if of sufficient mass - magnetized or not.

Not if the object is made of non magnetic materials like s/s or aluminium or titanium ... it's easy to test this.


OTOH luckily for me I don't have a magnetized watch so I can't confirm the OP's statement.

If the watch internals were made of only those materials, then there would be no worry about magnetization, would there?

so far (knock on wood) No Magnetisation as of yet.
but a good Info to keep in Mind .. Thank you.
