INSUFFICIENT LEANING

Is it true that radiofrequency radiation from wearing a smartwatch increases the risk of cancer?
Unclear. The retrieved sources only partially address the claim: NCI states radiofrequency radiation has generally not been found to cause cancer, and a CDC page says wearable devices expose users to RF below international exposure limits. Neither source directly studies smartwatch wearers' cancer risk, so the evidence covers only part of the claim.
