Do apple watches give you cancer?

I've been thinking about getting an Apple Watch for fitness tracking, but my wife heard some rumors online. She's worried about potential health risks. Is there any truth to the claim that apple watches can give you cancer due to the radiation they emit?

Oh god, please don't stress too much about this! It's just a WhatsApp rumor that went viral. These watches are highly tested and absolutely safe to wear daily.

I also got scared after reading some random article online and stopped wearing mine for a month! But then I researched properly and found out the radiation they release is extremely low and totally safe. Don't worry at all.

Not at all, bro. I've been wearing smartwatches for years while playing football and gymming. It's just a normal Bluetooth device, nothing to worry about.

Fear is a bigger enemy than technology. Keep your thoughts positive and don't worry about these small devices, they are made to help us track our movement and stay healthy.

Haha, my dad sent me a WhatsApp forward about this last week. It's totally fake news, guys. Don't believe everything your family groups send you!

There is zero clinical evidence linking smartwatches to any cancer. They use simple Bluetooth technology, which is non-ionizing. If you are still conscious, just take it off when you sleep at night to give your skin a break.

When I went for my annual health checkup at Apollo, I asked my doctor this exact question because of internet rumors. He laughed and clearly said there is absolutely no link between the two. You can wear it without any fear.

In our life we have seen so many new things like TVs and mobiles being blamed for big diseases. None of it turned out true. Wear your watch to track your daily steps, it is good for your age.

No, they don't cause any such illness. If you get a skin rash because of sweat under the strap, just rub a little coconut oil and keep the watch a bit loose.

I understand how anxiety-inducing it can be when you read such scary things online, especially if you already worry about your health. But rest assured, there is absolutely no scientific basis to this claim.
