I have a magnetic closure on a silver bracelet. Well, while shopping, I got too close to a metal clothing rack and it pulled the bracelet off. It fell to the floor, but I heard it drop and retrieved it. 

Buyer beware.

I have mostly magnetic closures.  They work well since I have small wrists.

I wear my nails long and don't want to struggle with clasps.

Haven't lost one yet!  Knock on my wooden head!

I recently purchased a magnetic clasp IM watch that I love!

I've found that happens in work - when working in a metal file cabinet drawer!  My wrist is pulled to and pinned against the drawer.  Thankfully, never had it pulled off my wrist though.

yeah, I had one cling to a shopping cart. You have to be on your toes.

I put a Ross Simon GOLD magnet clasp on a gold bracelet and I watch it like a hawk. Mainly just wear to church.  Bigger the clasp easier to hook.

I paid over a thousand for a chunky gold rolo and thank God it came with big senorita clasp I don't have to try and get a volunteer to fasten for me.

LOL

magnets are great , but, be aware !

If you wear magnetic bracelets and haven't lost one, it's just a matter of time.  The most common attractions are grocery carts and the grocery meat case.  It's also not cool to pick up your arm in a restaurant and have silverware attached. 

Magnets are great on necklaces.... bracelets, not so much.

Just an extra caution re: magnetic jewelry-- be careful if giving as a gift to anyone with a pacemaker. 

My mother wore a pacemaker and per her doctors we had to be careful re:jewelry and the contents of the jewelry especially magnetic closures or attachments.

@Shanus that is exactly my concern with bracelets with magnetic clasps.   I have one but it has the double safety clasps on it that secure the connection.   Right now I am still able to use a regular clasp but will move to the magnetic when needed.  Thanks for posting the alert and reminder.

You're welcome @Jk9 .

Not to mention that if you wear it while working on your laptop, it will mess with your laptop! It never occured to me to even consider it until I started typing and my laptop went blank. I realized right away and got my arm and bracelet away from it quick quick quick, but my computer engineer husband told me I had been lucky.

And, yes, shopping carts love them!
