Can a magnetic band damage the apple watch battery?

I heard from a friend that using a magnetic band could damage the apple watch battery, is that true? Is there any chance of that? I mean, there are plenty of magnetic bands for sale and I was wondering if this is true.


Cheers!

No problems with magnets. If a magnet damaged the battery it would be all over the forums not to mention the media. The Apple Watch's charger is held on to the back of the watch with a magnet. This puts the chargers magnet much closer to the battery than any magnetic watch band.
