Is there any side effects from wearing a watch?!


Question: Is there any side effects from wearing a watch?
You know, coz there's battery, metal rubbing in your skin and stuff.

Answers:

Usually there shouldn't be but my skin became allergic to metal from wearing a wrist watch in basic training in the Air Force. It was above 100 degrees every day and all of us perspired profusely. I might have been all right if I ever washed the metal back of my watch that was against my skin but I was from the North and not used to that kind of heat.

It wasn't until I left basic training 6 weeks later that I noticed the back of the watch was green. I washed off the green stuff but a couple of months later I started to get a skin rash under my watch. After that the rash got worse and then I couldn't wear any metal anywhere on my skin. It used to be a small annoyance but over the years (I'm 68) I must have saved many thousands of dollars by not buying any jewelry to wear.

I suspecxt that if I had washed the back of the watch daily I might not have had that problem. I had never had that problem before being in the desert for 7 weeks and I've never heard of anyone else having that Kind of problem

Personal experience.



The danger with phones is that they give off high-frequency radio waves. But a watch doesn't have any high-frequency stuff going on inside it. It probably does give off some waves, but they're about like the radiation given off by the wiring in the walls. (Ever think about house wiring? It's around you all the time! Even when you're sleeping!)



If there were you would be warned. It's fine to wear a watch. The only reactions people can get is if they're allergic to the metal the watch is made with.



just good watch,no problem
