Demagnitizer Question

I was wearing my omega seamaster 300m and my wife gave me bracelet with magnets in it she thought it might help with my carpal tunnel ...not thinking i started wearing it next to my omega then the watch started running 5min fast every 24hrs I Talked to omega service they said the watch needs to be demagnetized. I see on amazon you can buy a watch Demagnetizer for $13 does anyone know if these actually work?

Yes they work. Mine does anyway. It's paid for itself many times over. Instructions are on YouTube.

Omega 300m Master Chronometre? Tested to a min 15000 gauss! In the words of Kaos... I find that hard to believe!
