I have a story that might help.

I worked in a Sheet metal shop for 6.5 years. I constantly operated a
Spot welding machine with my hands ( one with watch around wrist) near
the welding tips. this is the second highest area of magnetic field.
The strongest is in the coils. I wore a very old (even then) TI
digital LED watch. It kept great time for probably half of my
employment there. I broke it while Kicking a Hacky Sack around one
day. When I bought a replacement I gave it no consideration , as the
watch was not even available new any longer. I went down and bought a
cheap TIMEX analog..........the analog watch kept making me work
overtime , and all kinds of odd things like missing break times by
over an hour, and neat stuff like that. I pretty much quit wearing a
watch after that............Moral: Digital OK around very strong
magnets. Analog TIMEX.........Not so good.

( the spot welder would pick up a 12 inch pair of Channel Lock pliers
and hold it suspended for the duration it was set to weld)
