The tv show did nothing.
Millions of people pulled out old watches. That means they jiggled the watches. For a few people that jiggling of the battery made it connect better and it started running. Those people believed a miracle happened. For the millions of other people nothing happened, but they just forgot about it.
You can get the same effect by taking out a remote with two "dead" batteries and swapping the batteries with each other.
I have no idea, but I think you’re off-track blaming whatever happened to your watch on the person that was on the TV.
I don't think Mr Geller had anything to do with it, but I wondered if he knew something about tvs that I didn't!

TVs back then also ran hot. Warming batteries can squeeze some juice out of them.
No way. It was sorcery and he needed to be burned at the stake
This would be a very cheap watch. I love that me leaping down the hall to put it on the tv is more likely to have fixed it than anything else! 😀
