Do Doctors Need Anti-Magnetic Watches?

Antimagnetic watches are designed to resist the effects of magnetic fields, which can disrupt the accuracy of a watch’s movement and timekeeping. Hospitals and medical facilities are equipped with various machines and devices that generate strong magnetic fields, such as MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) machines. Exposure to these magnetic fields, that the doctors experience as a routine, can affect the accuracy of a traditional watch movement, causing their watches to run fast or slow. An antimagnetic watch is built to withstand such magnetic forces, ensuring consistent and accurate timekeeping. The anti-magnetic timepieces make for some of the best watches for medical professionals.
