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,

	Have to ask why you put that watch (or any other solid-state device) near a coil in the first place?
