Apple Watch causing wrist/hand numbness and tingling

Why is that?

No, that is still not a scientific test. And are you going to include the GPS + Cellular Watch? It didn't exist when this thread started. So all the Watch used was non-ionizing radiation from WiFi and Bluetooth. There have been many studies done on the effect of this, Idris was nice enough to give you one. None of them have found any biological impact. None.

Anything in that case study that showed any possibility that it could be true like the bag test, they just put it down to it Being a lucky guess, and anything else non conclusive so it never happened due to to them not being able to back it up ,and why would they?

But as I thought when you read further look who it was funded by 😳

The case study was purely subjective before it even started as they would never of got the funding to justify there jobs.

Though your all sitting there thinking how stupid I am, but I use to sit there thinking the same about others because I can read stuff on the net and it must be true.

I didnt come here to start saying who is right and who is wrong but I came as I would like to purchase an iwatch and my own personal reasons I had my own concerns.

Are you familiar with that group? Do you have any idea of their background? Do you really think mobile telecommunications companies (they aren't one) wouldn't be interested in this? Since they helped fund it does that automatically disqualify everything about the study. And how in the world do you come to the conclusion that the whole study is non-conclusive?

It wasn’t the whole study that was none conclusive, but any signs (though little) that people are affected by any kind of signal radiation got dismissed as due to the lack of evidence, therefore it never was and never has been.

This is not why I’m here to argue about case studies, because people can copy and paste what they believe they know.

I came here because I had a concern, and just as anyone else not only here has been shot down when they have a claim or concern because someone says it can’t happen.

Obviously there is a reason why some things are happening, maybe it’s the rubber.

Maybe there Is another reason, but it’s good to descuss these things.

Just for the record, I have purchased and iwatch with celular, as it didn’t workout buying a watch and buying a band that I like and paying almost the same for the better spec watch.

It has a fabric strap but I do not use the cellular features and I have not seen any reaction or experanced any strange tingling so far after a week of use.

I don't think you're stupid. I think you don't understand how science (or scientific funding) works. And, I think you have fallen prey to some very common, very human logical errors.

Well it was explained to me about funding for science many years ago by a guy who’s dead now who worked in Cambridge doing test on Animals, lets just say I was shocked.

He then mentioned to always look at who funding each project as this will pretty much determine the direction of the outcome as your basically not going to screw over your funding as you will want them to come back for any future investment.

So the first thing before reading any kind of report is to always look at who’s funding it and why the tests are being done.

Well that settles it, since a guy who worked in Cambridge said it then it absolutely has to be factual. It is a good idea sometimes to look where the funding is coming from. So who is the group who funded this? Did you do any research on them? And not all scientists will do what this mythical expert said, in fact most of them will not. If you don't like this survey (and you obviously had trouble reading it) then look up one of the many others.

Whats the point of explaining when the thing that brought you here doesn’t exist, but hay I was brought here just as others have experienced something that isn’t right, only to be met by people who obviously live on here and obviously know everything about everything

That is largely false. The number of safe guards in place is astronomical. Other scientist are the biggest ones. They review the papers. They redo the research and see if they get the same results. That's why science works. One paper is not the answer to the question. It's the repetition. The further experiments that build off of it. Is it perfect? No, of course not. If it were, we wouldn't need Retraction Watch. But, it sure beats the alternative: relying solely on anecdotes.

In the U.S., the largest funder of scientific research is the U.S. government.

No, none of them claimed to know everything about everything. But they do have a varied backgrounds in science and have read up on this subject. And they also know to recommend people to see their doctor if they are have medical issues.

My hand has been hurting so bad and freezing like I have stuck it in a bag of ice for way to long. It hurts all the way up to my elbow. My left hand stays numb. I had no clue today what it was until I started searching because I was going to go to the doctor. I am sad because I love this watch.

Apparently you are not aware that there are different types of radiation? I would start there for a better understanding.

Wearing your Apple Watch - Apple Support

Show this article to your allergist. If you have a severe allergy to nickel you shouldn't be wearing the Watch. You also should not be wearing your strap that loose (see the article). You are not reacting to WiFi signals, Bluetooth signals, and, if you has a Series 2, GPS signals. The magnets are emanating waves to you and the battery isn't doing something unless it is defective and overheated and burned you.

And I have lots of allergies and keep up with the latest research on them. Fortunately nickel isn't one of them since I like wearing watches and I'm sorry to hear you have such a problem.

Thank you.

At least there is some recognition of the radio frequencies it emits.
