LEPSI - Watch MAGNETISM Reviews

Detector of ferrous metal, and maybe magnetized watches.

JSH:RxM

Firstly, the app works nicely for what it is. But it should be known that the compass chip in the iPhone will, like any compass, be affected by ANY ferrous metal. Whether that ferrous metal object is magnetized or not. So if the app tells you that your mechanical watch is "magnetized", you are more than likely getting attraction to a ferrous part (the strap springbar or clasp are likely culprits). If no strap, then the mainspring or small screws & parts may be enough to pull the compass, even if not magnetized. If you're demagnetizing over & over and still getting a "magnetized" reading, this is why. Perhaps watch the strength level, if it drops, you may have removed some magnetic contamination, but you'll always get "some" reading from clean steel, if present. All similar apps like this work this way, so not a problem, so long as you are aware.

Amazing

Works great!

Confirmed working

I can confirm this works 100%. My Breitling was running fast and this app indicated a magnetization. I went to the watch store and had them demagnify the watch and the app is no longer detecting magnetization. I mean can’t get a more bulletproof test than that. 5 stars. I’m impressed.

Useless

Despite the wonderfull reviews, and the ability to detect magnatism, this app is useless. Every single wristwatch and pocket watch i put beside the location if the sensor...this app claims is magnatized. Including ones that i just “demagnatized”... it is hyper sensitive to the extreme. Only telling you something is magnatized or not... so useless...

Definitely works

I just tested this with two Omega Speedmasters; one is magnetized and one is not. The non-magnetized watch does briefly say magnetism is detected if you place it very precisely, but the magnetized watch clearly shows magnetism detected when placed anywhere in the ballpark of the compass. The difference is very easy to recognize.
