I guess it got magnetized by my radio set (which runs on Lithium-ion batteries), I think I slept with my wrist right next to the radio. Is it possible that it got magnetized this way?
This is not the only watch that got affected, the next night I worn my plastic watch Timex Ironman Datalink and slept in the same position, so I guess my wrist remains there for at least a few hours before I moved in my sleep. I awoke at 7am but the watch shows 8am.I reset it and being battery powered, its alright now. But the Amphibian might need a trip to the watchmaker to get it demagnetized. Simple enough job though I just need to find time to make the trip...
That is either a very strong speaker magnet or that radio may have some sort of internal short circuit going on. Very odd indeed
ReplyDeleteEd, my watch seems to be gradually going back to normal accuracy now. Very odd indeed. I don't know what happened!
ReplyDeleteHi Anton--does your Amphibian that got magnetized have one of those brass shields inside, between the movement and the case back? Please shoot me a PM at WUS, &thanks! herdingwetcats
