Magnetic and soft inner core?
I own a BALL WATCH Engineer HydroCarbon which uses the soft inner core to give the watch more shielding against magnetic effect. I constantly place my watch around labtop and some time stand infront of loud PS15 Nexo speaker and they still work fine. The watch is heavy on the whole but it is build like a tank and it has being on my hand when i work out in gym and even during army training. I dun think the soft iron core is just for promo but rather depend on how you see it.
Magnetic Errors
Hi All, This may have been done to death.... certainly touched on in many posts..... but have any of you had problems with a modern watch becoming magnetized to the point that it needs rectification. I can only say that I have never had a problem with Rol...
definite issues for me
I have definitely had issues with laptops and automatic watches. I owned quartz watches for years without issues. Over the past couple of years I have tried two Oris models, and a Jaeger le Coultre. All three of them proved to be unreliable due to magneti...
They're real.
I have not had problems with watches becoming seriously magnetized (that is, off by hours per day), but I have noticed that movements are susceptible to being slightly magnetized, with magnetization changing their rate by 5 - 10 seconds per day. Some move...
Thanks... How can you tell if a watch becomes magnatized....
Hi and thanks for your reply.. How can someone tell if a watch becomes magnetized. kindest regards, Jack
by observation or w/ equipment
It was really easy for me, all of the watches suddenly and dramatically lost accuracy. For example, instead of gaining a few seconds a day, gaining nearly a minute a day. If you take the watch to a dealer, they can easily detect if if has been magnetised ...
Kong started a thread on this
with the title * Magnetism, Have We Missed Out The Obvious? Laptop-Users Be Aware! Date: Jan 26, 2008,10:33 AM which is a good place to go for a start! I demagnetised a watch yesterday that had been gaining 20 sec per day. Now it's down to only five. amer...
Hi Amerix...How do you demagnetize a watch
Hi Amerix Tell me how do you demagnatize a watch. Kindest regards, Jack
by banging it on a table
Well, what I do is to bring a simple and cheap "throttle" or inductance coil - one I have frequently employed to demagnetize the heads of tape and cassette reorders - by first plugging this longish oval device, with no moving parts, and which fits easily ...
Thanks Amery... I am now a wiser and happier man..
Hi Amery, I am now a wiser and happier man.... . I am sure many screwdrivers have been pointed north and banged in the last 24 hours. kindest regards, Jack
