My watchmaker showed me how. I was like this is how I do it and he was very patient.

Then, he said, okay, now this is how you do it correctly. 😅

I have a donut demagnetizer, which is what he recommended. You hold the watch face up in the donut, as soon as you start holding the button to activate it, with your other hand you quickly (yes, quickly) and smoothly pull the watch in a line orthogonally away from the plane of the hole of the donut to about 3 feet and stop the demagnetizer.
It is at this time that you remember to take out your wallet and put it far away from what you are doing...
Now repeat with the watch face down.
Now again with the watch crown down.
Now crown up
Now diagonally this way and again the other way, etc.
You are equalizing any magnetic forces on your watch, so everything in any direction will now balance out.
It works swell! Just wind your watch and see how it is now. It should be better after a full wind down. Otherwise, repeat.
