I recently went through one of those body scanning machines that sweeps around your body while you hold up your hands and ever since my watch is running slow. Do those machines magnetize watches?

This happens to all my watches regardless of whether on a bracelet or leather and sometimes even silicone. I’ve adjusted my bracelets so I have less links at six o’clock and the clasp is centered. And I ratchet my leather bands fairly tight. But for so…
