Battery powered watches and the body
I read in some health article online that wearing a battery powered watch can because some kind of interference to your own magnetic field and may do damage to your body because the battery has its own electromagnetic field. The article didn't present any studies or proof, so I'm thinking it is just some bullshit. Also, I don't think that tiny of a field could do too much.....but maybe I'm wrong. What do you guys think?

Re: Battery powered watches and the body
Yes, it's obviously bullshit.
"Glasses with metal frames can have tiny holes drilled at the end of the arms to discharge energy, but that cant be done to most decorative jewelry or to watches."
"A watchs mechanical motion is mildly disruptive, but watch batteries, with their intense electromagnetic charges, can be very hazardous to the steady flow of energy in a meridian"

Re: Battery powered watches and the body
In my case, the reverse is true. I cannot wear either a mechanical or electric (battery) watch, as they stop working about a day after I put them on. Don't seem to be repairable, either. It's not that uncommon.

Re: Battery powered watches and the body
Sorry, gang, not BS at all. And, no, I can't walk on water, see through walls, etc. It's just that watches, even pocket ones, stop a day or so after I wear them. And I'm not smashing them either. As I said, it is not that uncommon. ALso, every car I have owned that had a clock in the radio, the clock seemed ot gain a minute every week.

Protip: if it comes from a site called "natural medicine", take it with a grain of salt. Or, better yet, don't take it.

Sorry, acolyte, it's still bullshit. You do not exude a magical anti-timepiece force field; go fuck yourself.

Perhaps he's not telling us that he wears a neodymium magnet belt buckle?

I've heard that one of my relatives has the same problem, although it's only with digital watches afaik.
