路It used to work for that damn horizontal hold back on the olden days.
If you remember whacking the television- you are officially old.

路Since grabbing my pork rinds out of the microwave (I鈥檓 on a heath food kick...), my watch each day since has had an erratic rate: 7 seconds fast, then 30, back down to ten. Indicative of magnetism...or more likely something else?

Put pork rinds in a 1gal ziplock. Crush with a rolling pin until fine like bread crumbs. Add seasonings to taste (I add cumin, tarragon, turmeric, garlic powder, salt) and dredge chicken breasts (flour/egg wash/into ziplock). Place on rack in pan (so it crisps on both sides). Oven at 425 for 30-40 minutes (depending on oven and elevation).
Broccoli florets in bowl with olive oil, Tyme, sea salt, garlic powder. Toss by hand until well covered- spread on cookie sheet. In 425 oven for 20-30 minutes depending on your taste for crispness (I like to see a little browning on the florets). If you time the broccoli to go in after the chicken has been in for 10 minutes they come out at the same time.
Yummy!

路Place watch on the until, press and hold the button, move watch away as far as you can before releasing the button.
How to screw that up - lots of ways, but if you mean to magnetize the watch, you would put the watch on the demag, press the button, and release it without moving the watch away...
So you should do that one time?

路I鈥檓 not judging as I live in a glass house with respect to watch paraphernalia, but this topic has me scratching my head. I have worn mechanical watches for decades, in all kinds of environments and never once had a magnetization issue.
Genuinely curious what you are all doing that mangnetizes watches so often that you鈥檇 want/need to have a degausser on hand? 馃槙
Maybe it鈥檚 is a Spousal Quirks Part Trois thing, but do tell please.

As many times as is required. You won't hurt anything by demagnetizing a watch that doesn't need it.

路路Omega Qualified WatchmakerAl, do you prefer running or hacked? Have you noticed a difference?
Running is what I was taught, but I鈥檝e done both and no real difference...

I keep many of my drivers on a magnetic strip specifically because I need them to hold the screws while trying to get it into tiny spaces.

路I totally forgot to check if my newly arrived Tudor Submariner was magnetized.
Thanks to this thread, I pulled up the Lepsi app on my iPhone and sure enough, magnetized.
Out came the cheap blue de-magnetic from Amazon and now perfect time!

路I鈥檝e seen a nifty device that you put the tool on one side and demag鈥檚 and put it in the other and it will magnetize.
I think this is what you are referring to:
I remember these from my machinist days. You stick the screwdriver in the magnetize hole and it's magnetized. Wave it in the demagnetize hole and it demagnetizes. It only works for small tools though, don't expect it to demagnetize a one-inch box open end wrench.

路Love those blue boxes. I used to always pack one in my carry-on, back when I fancied wearing a Reverso Duo on work trips.
That JLC movement would get magnetized without fail, every single time I went through the airport security clearance. At client sites, I'd occasionally have to de-magnetize the watch in the evenings when I returned to my hotel, depending on my laptop or iPad usage throughout the day.
I'm a huge fan of all the upgrades Omega has invested in this past decade, toward guaranteeing the timekeeping accuracy on their modern movements against daily exposures to magnetism.
