I was out in the shop earlier, and came back inside the house, noticed my watch fast a few hours.
Did a search to find out what kinds of things cause this, and found that it was probably the magnets/electrical fields from the power tools I was using.
Also came across a lot of people swearing that watches stop or malfunction constantly when they wear them, and a lot of people claiming it is because some people generate excess static electricity.
This reminded me of my father, who died when I was six, who claimed in an essay I read, that both him and his mother experienced this. Supposedly, their watches would only last a short while before they stopped working. And he claimed this was due to static electricity.
Is this really due to static electricity in the body?

Also, if anyone knows, what factors can cause a watch to malfunction/speed up, and how does this play out.
