In this video lesson, we'll cover how to test for magnetism and how to demagnetize a watch using 3 different types of demagnetizers. With the omnipresence of electronic devices nowadays, mechanical watches are easily magnetized, which usually causes a watch to run exceedingly fast. This is why knowing how to check for magnetism and how to degauss a watch is essential to watch enthusiasts, and is a frequently performed procedure in watch repair.
