Hi I bought a gorgeous Geneve f300 from someone on here. It's running beautifully, but when I do a magnetism test, it sends my compass 40 degrees off. I bought a cheapo demag box. Can I safely use it on an f300, or does it need something different? Thanks
and while you're browsing eBay for a demagnetiser, spend some time to find out why your watch CREATES a magnetic field.
Anything metal sets off a compass Does steel affect compass? Iron and steel will be attracted by a magnet. These metals will also deflect a compass needle, but metals such as aluminum and copper won't.
Quartz watches have magnets inside, demagnetising them is intrusive since it'll likely mess up the motor etc. I've just tested 2 of my 300Hz's - they are magnetic too TL;DR: Don't
The watch is sittin by his overcoat Next to a simple note he wrote Remindin him a quartz is good that way
