All the magnets in the iPad Pro and keyboard case

Has anyone had magnetism issues with the iPad Pros and magic keyboard since the both are full of magnets, especially for 5 digit references without the Parachrome hairspring? Thanks

Get yourself a demagnetizer; they're cheap and work to demagnetize watches.

Pretty sure the issues with iPads and magnets was just on the earlier models. While the newer models do have magnets they are not as strong and not as many as older versions.

I use a iPad Pro for about everything these days. Just don’t rest your watch on top of the devise or smart case. I have yet to magnetize any automatic watch with a iPad or phone over the years but some have by resting their watch on their iPhone at night forgetting the strong magnet in the speakers.

It’s also the speakers of said devices that can potentially cause magnetism. Keep any watches away from these devices is the simple solution.

Good to know, there are magnets in the palm rests of the magic keyboard case (with trackpad), right under your wrist when you’re typing; but I guess your arm creates enough distance?

I've been using Macbooks for 10+ years and have had my watch all over the place, including over the speakers, and never had an issue.

The obvious answer is get an Apple Watch…

I've been using an ipad pretty much every day since the first version from 2010. Haven't had any problems with any of my watches. You should be fine.
