Sounds like it got magnetized (https://wornandwound.com/watches-and-magnetization/ https://wornandwound.com/watches-and-magnetization/), which can happen quite easily. For instance, the magnetic closure of Mac laptops did that to one of my watches, from resting my wrist next to the touchpad.
The good news is it's easy to fix with an ~$10 watch demagnetizer.
