Great information, thanks. I think I will get a demagnetizer if my Hamilton gets inaccurate, but not worry about it otherwise. What are strong magnets you would encounter in normal life?
They are everywhere. Your phone, most wireless chargers, many cases, any mag clamp accessory for example. Any magnet that's part of clothing or wallet/purse - it doesn't take a STRONG magnet, just any.
First of all, nice collection of watches. Second, I really appreciate you doing this video. I was thinking of getting a vintage Omega dress watch, and magnetism was one of my concerns on whether I should even consider ANY vintage watch, but now thanks to your video, I think it's not a big deal. And best of all, you can demagnetize them. So now, not a big deal at all.
Great video. The phone app seems like a good idea however my phone has magnets in the back!
It's nice to know that unless there's extreme magnetic forces, even normal mechanical movements will probably be fine.

That would be strange to see a Omega 8800 Calber (for example) test as magnetic.....

Glad I could help!
Let me ask, I always heard that digital quartz watches are natural anti magnetic and Will not be affect by it at all, is this true?
Digital quartz, yes. There are no motors to be affected.
Learn something new everyday 👍🏿
Watches with stainless steel bracelets ...demag the s/steel bracelets and any metal buckles on non ss straps as well
Yet another reason to buy watches with anti-magnetic hair springs.
