Apple Watch Radiation Concern

Product: Apple Watch


I have concerns relating to the bluetooth radiation and infrared radiation when using Apple watch.

Is exposing skin to infrared light from Apple watch safe? what about bluetooth radiation with such close proximity to the skin

The metal and ceramic back and case of the Watch should be more than enough

to shield any alleged concern of the product; this device has been highly researched

and tested prior to retail availability. The specifications for the watch and other BT

devices have to follow known regulations, & built to high manufacturing standards...


There should be no concerns from either IR or BT frequencies from any  iDevices.😎

If you are concerned about infrared you should never go out in the sun; the amount of IR in sunlight that reaches your skin is thousands of times greater than anything from the Apple watch. You also should not get near any cooking appliance, as most of its energy is in the infrared range.


If you are concerned about BlueTooth you should not ever use any cell phone. They use the same frequency ranges as bluetooth, but the output power is up to 200 times greater than any BlueTooth device. You should also not live in a city, as cell antennas are everywhere. And don't use WiFi; it is in the same range. So get rid of your routers, and use only hard-wired Ethernet connections. Of course, you still have to deal with your neighbor's WiFi.
