Yes, I just zapped my wristwatch. And at very low coil-power, so
others: beware! I have (had) one of those LaCrosse radio-controlled
watches. No spark to it; just, apparently, the EM field from close
proximity to the secondary coil while debugging. Of necessity the watch
has an all-plastic case (to allow the radio reception). It would appear
that the coil's 150 KHz "radio" signal was just too much for it. Now
the display is blank & nothing, it seems, will bring it back.
Sadly,
