Having a procedure tomorrow that involves part of me being under an X-ray machine, obviously worried about my watch.
I know my local AD has a Milgauss in stock, maybe I should pick this up on the way to be safe?

They might charge a search fee!Originally Posted by matt
I would suggest selotaping one of these on the face to 100% protect you.

You may also consider picking up a railmaster in case there is a waiting list for milgauss which delays your scanning.
I don’t think they’ll find much inside my old noggin 🤪
No need to worry about X-rays on your watch. If it’s an MRI machine I’d remove it - I think they insist any metal objects are removed.
Hope you get better soon.

Well, is it a James Bond special?
Lead cod piece remember. A watch is for Christmas, nads are for life.
You'll be fine! Just stay awake............!

I have a cheap Citizen for just such occasions. You may have to take it off, and hospitals are not secure. Don't wear anything of value.
Btw. My nephew is a physicist who works around x-ray devices.He doesn't wear a watch.
As long as you don't want to smuggle it in the old Papillon way :D
Get better soon!
It is xrays, worry not. Where do you think your watch goes at the search point every time you fly?
No, just take a phone. I've spent a lot of time in and around hospitals, amazing how much stuff goes missing!
Thanks for the replies chaps, the OP was of course tongue in cheek! Will be passing whatever I decide to wear to Mrs to hold onto whilst they prod around in my back!
Trouble with that is she may like it; I've had two watches 'borrowed' on that basis. And they've stayed borrowed.
Do x-rays give a good lume charge?
I’ll let you know tomorrow
I remember this.Awful business
Of course the Milgaus is only designed to withstand magnetic fields, not x-rays which should pass harmlessly through.
Stays on my wrist usually.

Breitling Cosmonaute 809 - What's not to like?
Maybe it has changed but each time i go international it goes with all the other bits i carry in the tray through the xray machine.
On a more serious note , my father was robbed twice when he was in a hospital suffering from a stoke .There is little security in hospital wards .

You have a watch for when you’re being X-rayed.

I have a watch for visiting places where I may have to take it off the wrist, and lose sight of it. Such as a hospital.You have a watch for when you’re being X-rayed.

A cheap, low risk, watch. It's also the only watch I would wear in water. My partner's Citizen accidentally went through a full cycle in the washing machine ; it was fine, and very clean.

Eco-Drive, it says ;)
Provided the x-ray doesn't involve you being immersed in hot soapy water you (or rather your watch) should be fine.
Not mine. My righty was hoiked away about 12 years ago.
