New Phones & Magnets (Galaxy Fold)

Hi Guys - I'm a happy Rolex owner - with the Polar Explorer II 216570 and a Submariner Hulk and I'm considering getting one of the new Samsung Galaxy Fold Smartphones in the next few weeks when it's released.

This is the new 'foldable' phone from Samsung - and looks super cool. I work in tech - so it may be useful to have one of these for testing.

Anyway - I'm starting to get concerned about how many magnets current Smartphone (and tablet) devices now carry. The new iPad Pro is full of magnets - and this Samsung Galaxy Fold looks loaded with SUPER STRONG MAGNETS as well. Have a look at a video example of the Samsung Fold magnets below:

So just curious what people knowledgeable about the state of the Explorer II (and Hulk) movements would make of this. Is the blue parachrom hairspring enough to guard against getting magnetised? Am I being overly cautious? Or do I need a Milgauss if I decide to get this phone??

Thanks in advance!!!!
