Mechnical Watches and Electric Vehicles

[airweaz]

Afternoon all.

Anyone experienced any issues with owning an electric vehicle and wearing a traditional mechanical watch?

I know a number of more modern watches have a faraday cap or cage which would limit the issue of magnetism with a watch but plenty of watches don't have this and could be exposed to such an issue.

Tesla owners? Taycan drivers? Any feedback?

Just asking the question. Im doing some research on very traditional watches and electric cars.

I would imagine being in the cabin of a car would be a lesser magnetic field. However if a mechanic or tech was working on a tesla for example it would be exposed to a greater field.

None issue… all Tesla mechanics wear Rolex Milgauss watches.

This has really made me laugh.

And for those saying its some sort of humble brag about cars and watches. I drive a seat and wear a beaten up old G Shock.

I know for a fact that those fitted with a pacemaker cannot work on a Porsche Taycan for example. So could a watch be affected by as a traditional hairspring is sensitive. Albeit without the consequences of death and A and E.
