I am a battery "killer" in wrist watches so I recently bought a watch necklace. It occurred to me that maybe I shouldn't wear this necklace with a pacemaker. The chain is long enough that the watch is maybe 6 inches below my pacemaker. What do you think?

No problem at all

There are very few things that the vast majority of people encounter that even might be a problem for a pacemaker. Don't worry about the small things.

Far too much is made of the risks of magnetic fields affecting our devices. Fact is there is very little risk and even if there is interference the device goes back to normal operation when the offending field moves away. Geez when I first got a defibrillator, my wife secretly started stacking refrigerator magnets on it at night hoping to do me in. 14 years later, still here
After the device goes back to normal

I may be dead. Normal is nothing.

Their output is so tiny it would have no effect even if resting directly on where the device is.
