  • Popular smartwatch bands have been found to contain high levels of PFHxA, a harmful “forever chemical.”
  • These bands may expose wearers to PFAS through skin contact, especially during exercise when sweat and open pores amplify absorption.
  • Experts recommend avoiding fluoroelastomer bands and choosing safer alternatives.

Smartwatch bands from popular brands have been found to contain high concentrations of toxic for forever chemicals, also known as PFAS (per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances). These synthetic chemicals do not break down easily in the environment and build in our bodies over time, hence earning them the nickname of forever chemicals.
