Induction cooktop can influence balance wheel?

[magagne]

I'm looking for an induction cooktop, those cooktop use a technology base on a strong magnetic field and I ask a question to myself about if this field is strong enough to do something to watch (balance wheel). Need to remove my watch each time I want to cook could be a big no go on this type of cooktop/ranges. Somebody already have this answer?

Thanks and "Bon Appetit" [julia child]

I have used an induction cooktop and looked at buying one for at the house. I haven't checked to see if they affect my watch or not though I usually have my pathfinder on when I am around them. I wouldn't expect it to do much to a watch though unless you were trying to cook your watch.
