fans, which there seem to be quite a few. Thanks for all the work. There is one contradiction in the material that is very important, the magnetic issue. The Japan Industry Standard usually refers to how something "resists" a threat to the product. So I am wondering if the earlier part of the information is saying " anti-magnetic" or protects against magnetic fields? If this watch is magnetized, it is going to be a threat to other watches when stored in a watch box or will disturb cell phones and computers. This is a really important issue and the only reason I bring it up, as later in the document it talks about cell phones etc. Would you be so kind to look at the original language again and confirm. I am also nuts about this watch. Many thanks, Tim

is what makes the Japanese language so funny. It really is anti-magnetic, though. Yes, I can see how if the watch were "magnetic", it would cause problems not only with other watches but other sensitive electronic equipment and possibly medical equipment....
