I am concerned about getting cancer using my Apple Watch. Are there ways to lessen the risk and still wear it?

There is no credible evidence that wearing an Apple Watch increase the risk of cancer. If you are concerned about RF emissions please see my response to another user in thread https://discussions.apple.com/thread/250348243?answerId=250659345022#250659345022 and consider that the radio signal is directed away from the wearer’s arm (the back of the watch) because any signal dumped into the wearer is wasted energy.
