I know that this thread is older but I just started to look up as to why when I wore a wrist watch did it stop. First I need to explain that this happened to me a long time ago and I haven't tested it out for a while because I think I would be disappointed if it didn't work any more. LOL! Anyways, first off, the type of watch that would not work for me was one that was a wind-up watch and the back of it had to touch my skin. I was given a wind-up watch that had a felt-backing and I did not experience any issues. When I wore a watch that touched my skin (and I wore/tried many different makes) all of the watches stopped within 1 hour of putting them on. I would take them off and put aside only to have them start up by themselves within a few minutes. Also the strangest of all things was when I sat next to my mom's grandfather clock. I would sit right next to it and within about 10 minutes you would notice the pendulum start to slow down. Pendulums sway from side to side, right? Well eventually the pendulum would slow its side to side swaying to a complete stop, THEN, start to sway front to back. I use to get in so much trouble because she thought that I was going to break the clock. I am not able to see if I can still make it do that but I have been willed the clock. One day I will try again. LOL! If anyone can explain why this happened to me I would be very grateful.![:P]( "Razz")
