    Just curious: for those of you who believe your watch got magnetized by either an IPhone, IPad or laptop: do you believe it was caused by putting your watch near, or using the device...or by actually putting the watch right on the device?

    I don't believe that iPhones magnetize watches. But I do believe in alien DNA, demon sperm, and hydroxychloroquine.

    I have a Gauss meter and my Android phone definitely changes the reading. Not as much as a desk speaker, but still enough that I won't leave my watch next to it for long periods.

    No, it's just in the news a lot lately.

    Just get a METAS certified movement and leave it anywhere you want :)
