A bit of history. One of the first digital watches I remember was a LED display plastic job from TI, I think. I was delighted to get it back then because I worked on the old disk drives. The access mechanisms on those used a heavy magnetic field (gauss bath was the term then). The magnetic field would instantly destroy an analog watch. Once I got the digital watch, I used to amaze and astound other engineers by taking my watch and dipping it into the magnetic field. It would continue to work with no hesitation. My, how things change!

Huh - interesting. There are also some mechanical watches designed to work in conditions like these (the legendary Rolex Milgauss is one), but I know in general they are ruined by a powerful mechanical field.

Didn't know agbout the Rolex Milgauss. Probably couldn't afford one if I had known. I could barely afford the TI. Love the Rolex Daytona. Can't afford that one either!

Saw this and figured I would jump in, my watch is analog, a Rolex Submariner with the date feature...generally I prefer automatic analog watches as I like the history associated with them, however I also have a Casio G shock which I enjoy...most durable and rugged watch I have owned and affordable just not overly elegant.

I have owned a total of five automatic analog watches over the years, two of them being Invicta and three of them being Rolex....if I could do it again and no lose the farm I would opt for a nicer brand like Omega or JLC.
