My father has a fun problem: he can only wear purely mechanical watches. If he wears an electric watch, it'll stop working after a few hours. He mentioned it to a doctor once. The doctor hooked him up to a galvanometer and a few other medical toys (No charge! I think the doctor was hoping for a research paper.) and eventually decided that my father was an excellent conductor and was probably killing the watches when he picked up static electrical charges.
