EMIT Collection The Viscount Swiss Made Mens Watch

While past tests showed that mice grew tumors upon long exposure to smartphones, tests using smartwatches didn’t yield the same alarming results. In addition, while brain cancer is the primary concern, EMF exposure has been linked with other types of cancer, including breast cancer. Read more about this issue and how it’s covered by the mainstream media here . 2: Headaches Although the cause of such burns may be due to other factors, it’s suspected that the radiation from the device is a contributing factor. Apple Watch Radiation The Garmin fenix 7X is one of the most well-regarded smartwatches on the market at the moment. The release of this watch was eagerly awaited by fans of the brand and smartwatch enthusiasts. The fenix 7X is one of the most well-equipped smartwatches on the market. Unlike previous fenix models, the 7 has a touchscreen display alongside buttons that can be used to navigate the watch.

If you read the fine print in the owner’s manual for devices like these, you’ll see warnings about possible interference with medical implants. Some studies have suggested that there may be a link between exposure to electromagnetic fields and cancer, but the evidence is far from conclusive. So, should you be worried about wearing a smartwatch? Probably not, but it’s something to keep in mind if you’re concerned about your health. Global health and technology agencies are aware of EMF exposure. A series of studies in the 70s found an array of health effects related to working around strong EMF fields. In the UK, HSE regulates work exposure to EMF for that reason, while other countries have their own regulations.On the other hand, ionising radiation, emitted by sources like X-rays, is harmful to health at certain doses. While a few X-rays won’t harm you, you certainly wouldn’t want to be exposed to X-rays for longer than you need. Further down the EMF spectrum, you find extremely damaging radiation like gamma rays. Electromagnetic spectrum However, some experts feel that there is reason to be concerned. Dr Devra Davis, an environmental health scientist, has said that “anytime you have something next to your body emitting electromagnetic fields, it has the potential to do harm.” She recommends keeping smartwatches away from your head and body as much as possible. SAR is expressed in watts per kilogram (W/kg) and is used to determine the potential health effects of exposure to RF radiation. The Rival is It's available in two colorways (Kona White and Stealth Gray) and at first glance looks much like your standard sports watch – a chunky circular case with five buttons on the sides. What sets the Elemnt Rival apart is its smart angled ceramic bezel, which is theoretically more resistant to scuffs and scratches than metal or plastic, and is topped off with Gorilla Glass. The electronic device is then placed next to the body parts, and the SAR is measured using a probe. The probe measures the amount of RF energy absorbed by the phantom and calculates the SAR. Regulations for SAR

The Apple Watch emits EMF radiation, just like any other electronic device. However, the levels of EMF radiation emitted by the watch are relatively low. Apple Watch Several health issues may arise from exposure to radiation. For instance, a number of individuals have reported experiencing intense headaches and nausea, especially when wearing the smartwatch for a long time.But think about what position you hold your hand in when actively using the watch – in front of your face, maybe a foot away. So yeah, the shielding material is deflecting RF away from your wrist, but now it’s directed at your face. In fact, most smartwatches emit less than 1% of the maximum SAR (Specific Absorption Rate) limit set by the FCC (Federal Communications Commission). So while wearing a smartwatch will expose you to some level of radiation, it is very unlikely to cause any harm. However, if you are concerned about the potential effects of radiation, there are some things you can do to minimize your exposure. Specifically, exposure has been linked to impaired sperm motility, mobility and lower sperm counts. In addition, we know that global fertility has dropped in the last 20 years or so, and radiation exposure is likely part of the explanation. Protecting Yourself from EMF The SAR of a device is measured using phantom body parts, typically a head and other synthetic tissues filled with a liquid that simulates the electrical properties of human tissues. Measuring SAR So with that said, let’s turn our attention to how we can do that. Is There Such a Thing as a Smartwatch Radiation Shield?
