: I should have said, is it a common problem
: after a year of wearing it to work, at home,
: at play and everywhere else. But the idea of
: the watch becoming magnetized is intriguing
: to say the least. No I don't believe mine
: has become magnetized but it is running way
: fast for no apparent reason.

This is not a common problem that should ever be expected of a watch, unless a) it is magnetized b) it needs its regular servicing or c) something else is broken and requires repair.

Actually, when a watch starts to run very fast for no apparent reason, this is a good sign it may have become magnetized. This can happen quite by accident without the wearer ever being aware of it. Try putting your watch next to a compass. If the needle moves, it has become magnetized. Either way your watch is in need of repair. Good luck.
