Knows the source of the magnetism & avoid close proximity...

The distance between the handphone and the phone is far, so has no effect, except when ....you placed your watch side-by-side with your handphone.  The strongest magnetic field is at the earpiece  (the speaker)!

I believe in taking precaution.... a few of our friends mentioned their watches are still fine... well, its a matter of when

Previously when I reached home, last time, I placed my mobilephone on top of my wallet.  A long while no issue, till one day, my credit-cards in my wallet could not 'swipe through'.  Now the mobile is away from my watches and wallet!  Not taking any chances.

OK, since you asked, I tried to show you the evidents of the mobilephone.

Notice the compass GREEN needle did not move at all with and without the mobilephone.

1. The setup is simple, the compass will represent the watch location.
2. I hold the mobile to my ear as I normally do when using it.  This will provide the actual position of the phone on my hand.
3. And then I laid my hand down as shown above with the phone.  I placed the compass on my wrist. Align it to a fix position on the compass for the GREEN needle. Take a shot...(this was difficult...need balancing!)
4. Remove the mobile. Take a shot (with same difficulty).
5. Compare the 2 pictures.
6. Results -  Needle DID NOT deflect at all. Perhaps it only applies my N95
