Multiyear high precision measurements of the longitudinal component of the magnetic field (Be) of four supergiants are reported: Aqr (G0 Ib), Aqr (G2 Ib), Gem (G8 Ib), and Peg (K2 Ib). The best measurement accuracy, =0.8 G, was achieved for Peg. A Monte Carlo method was used to test the reliability of the derived measurement errors. The differences between the observational errors and the calculated Monte Carlo errors were 3.2%. For Aqr and Aqr no statistically significant value of the magnetic field was recorded when averaged over a night. For eGem the following overnight average values of the magnetic field were recorded on five nights: 11.1±2.7 G, 9.8±2.5 G, -10.5±3.0 G, 38.1±7.4 G, and 5.3±1.5 G. For Peg the magnetic field recorded over two nights was -5.3±0.9 G and - 2.7±0.8 G.
