Does anyone actually wear their Milgauss in high magnetic fields?

[watchukr]

I'm thinking about getting one and I work in a laboratory setting where I will encounter high magnetic fields. I know what Rolex reports, but does anyone have practical experience using it in real world lab conditions? Thanks

I think not only milgauss
some iwc like ingenIeur n pilot
damasko
ball hydrocarbon
etc
all fitted with soft iron case watch should b ok

[sshark]

To add, milgauss and ingeniuer has the same magenetic resistance rating at 80k A/m. Whereas pilot has lower rating ~32k A/m.

I wonder what is the magnetic rating, if any at all, for Ingenieurs with a display back?

[sshark]

Watches with display back are without the soft iron DUH!!!! Without the soft iron, the watch is not magnetically protected.

I think the Big Ingeniuer is the only Ingenuier with display back.

Why take the risk? Wear a quartz watch to work and you don't have to worry a thing about the magnetic fields.

 

[sshark]

Do you mean quartz as in digital watch. My experience was if the magnetic force is strong enuf it is stop the second hand from jumping to the next tick

If I remember correctly,my Omega Planet ocean has the anti magnetic piece covering the movement and so does the Omega Speedy moonwatch

Casio has a couple of G-Shocks that are anti-magnetic.

I don't think speedy has the anti magnetic piece. Speedy only has the dust cover.
Correct me if am wrong.

My thoughts exactly.
Just wondering if any of the sifus can confirm, I thought I read somewhere that the Milgauss despite being marketed as an anti magnetic watch, doesn't have a strong anti magnetic rating whn compared to similar type of watches say Ball Hydrocarbon series?

Can't remember exactly but I thot I read something like anti magnetic on the cover...Will take my moonwatch to check again

Hydrocarbon series has resistant of 12000 A/m (while the rest 4800 A/m) which is about 15% of what Milgauss & Ingeniuer can withstand.

"In 1989 IWC first manufactured its Ingenieur which was able to withstand huge magnetic fields of up to 500,000 A/m  . In 1993, when IWC celebrated its 125th birthday, the company substituted this model with a more conventional Ingeneur, resisting magnetic fields of 80,000 A/m. IWC Pilots' watches demonstrate accurate time-keeping under moderate magnetic pressures as well.

 
New version of the MilgaussThe Rolex Milgauss series of antimagnetic certified chronometers was first manufactured in 1954 with the model 6541 for those working in nuclear, aircraft, and medical settings associated with strong magnetic fields. An aesthetically plainer model 1019 replaced the first version in the early 1960s and remained in production through 1988. Rolex reintroduced its antimagnetic Milgauss series with model 116400 in 2007 whose design invokes its 1950s predecessor and retains the line's advertised magnetic flux density resistance of 1,000 gauss within magnetic fields of 80,000 A/m." - quoted from wikipedia...

I would go for the IWC or Rolex if it fits your budget.
