Is It Time to Ditch Your Smart Watch?

"I started to notice that even after I had taken the smart watch off, my pulse would 'pulse' - in other words, my pulse was reacting to the watch even when it wasn't on my wrist"...
18 months ago I purchased my first fitbit. I loved being able to count my steps and keep myself accountable for my exercise. I enjoyed keeping track of how many laps I swam.
Then one after the other - three times - my fitbits stopped working. The tech guys had no idea why, and each time it was replaced. I had a hunch my body was trying to tell me something.
In the past whenever I tried to wear a regular (non-digital) watch, it would stop working, and eventually I stopped wearing one. In fact, until I got my fitbit, I had not worn a watch for over 20 years!
After the third malfunction, I decided to change brands and purchased a Samsung Gear. It seemed to work fine.
I started to notice however that sometimes, even after I had taken the smart watch off, my pulse would 'pulse' - in other words, my pulse was reacting to the watch even when it wasn't on my wrist.
And it began to dawn on me slowly, that wearing the watch was exposing me to wireless radiation.
Looking back I was silly not to have seen it. However, such is the veil of ignorance which covers our self-awareness, even when we think we are mildy self-aware!
I decided to stop wearing the watch, because I could feel that the constant pulsing was foreign to my body. It didn't like it.
If you watch the short video above, you can hear more about the effects of smart watches and you might like to question your own use if you have one.
On the 5G Summit this is also discussed in the interview with Sayer Ji.
