It depends on the watch and the magnet. If the magnet isn't strong enough, (and it probably wont take much) then it wont. Or, if the watch is made differently, it will not destroy it. Other then that, watch+magnet= bad watch .

Why do magnets mess up cellphones?
A magnet should have no effect on a cellphone. There is nothing inside a cellphone that would be "messed up" by a magnet. Perhaps you could clarify what happened.
Why would a linear accelerator have no effect on a neutron?
A linear accelerator works by having a magnet at the end of the accelerator. If the particle is neutral then it will not be attracted to the magnet and therefore nothing will happen, as in the case of a neutron.
What is the space around a magnet where it has an effect?

What will happen to poles in a magnet when you cut a magnet in two?
Nothing happens, except that now you have two magnets. The poles of a magnet are not actually localized at the two ends of the magnet but are inherent to the magnetic properties of the magnet. As the magnetic properties are not altered by a modification of the magnet such as cutting it in half, there will be no effect on the poles of the magnet.
A magnetic pole is the part of a magnet where the magnetic effect is weakest.?
A magnetic pole is where the magnetic effect is greatest.
Does a watch have a magnet in it?
YES !
How close does a magnet have to be to metal to have an effect on it?
It depends on the gauss value of the magnet. Yourstood on a big magnet. It'scalled Earth. Youre a long way from the poles but it still has an effect on metals.
Does a copper penny move away from a magnet?
No, copper is unaffected by any magnet you're likely to come across (although an extremely powerful magnet - something the size of, say, a car - would have some effect).
What happens when you put magnet on a disk?
Unless you scratch the disk while placing the magnet on the disk, then nothing will happen. A magnet would have to be powerful enough to extract the hemoglobin from human bloodcells to be able to effect the disk.

How a dynamo woks?
Dynamo has constant magnet inside.When movement comes up ,magnet starts turning .And outside of magnet has coiled wire .So this movement of magnet causes electromagnetic effect .Finally current consists with this electomagnetic effect.
Does cold effect the strength of a magnet?
no. Not nesseicerally

Does a magnet convert potential energy to kinetic energy?
yes Place the magnet near an iron ball and watch the ball accelerate toward the magnet.
What is the strongest type of permanent magnet?
An electro-magnet would be the strongest magnet. Or the sun itself would be the strongest natural magnet.
What mf is the space around a magnet where it had an effect?

Can steel passing over a magnet be recorded?
The EFFECT of steel passing over a magnet can be detected and therefore recorded.
