Can something in your body affect your wristwatch?

Question

Every time I buy a watch, within a month it has either slowed down immensely or quit completely. I bought my seventh watch of this year on Thursday and it quit yesterday! Granted they are the cheap $8 wal-mart watches, but is there anything in my body that would make them stop working everytime? Or do I just have really bad luck with watches? Someone mentioned iron levels in your blood affecting it somehow, but i wasn't sure about that...

Answer 1

I have this same problem  except my watches wont even make it a week. I bought this 100$ fossil watch and it broke withine a week. My bf has the same problem.....He claims to have been abducted by aliens seriously and he has a good head on his shoulders i beleive him. And Im psychic in the way I can communicate with the dead so it might have something to do with paranormal....thats all I can come up with.  

Answer 2

It could be a chemical in your blood or something that doesn't react well with the metals in the watch, not sure tho. That's very interesting tho, I'm starring you. You should talk to your doctor. Also, just use your cell phone to tell time.

Answer 3

yes, you may have a chemical reaction in ur body to the watch

Answer 4

Same thing happens to my husband.  He had better luck with one of those old fashioned spring driven watches that you have to wind up.  Anything with a battery will last less than a week on him.  I've always joked that it's his highly magnetic personality!

Answer 5

Yeah, I know someone who has the same problem...something to do with magnetism.
