as you constantly come near to magnetic fields. My Squadra Hometime went from +2s per day to +25s per day because I walked through the arch at the airport and it got magentised. My EWC through the same arches was fine. I now use the tray and put my watches through the x-ray scanner instead.

If you leave a watch near to a speaker it can get magnetised as speakers are giant magnets.
