SAR ratings???

Watch has two radios, WiFi and Bluetooth.WiFi I'm pretty sure is not always on, otherwise will drain battery fast. Bluetooth is on, I think that "Phone off" will turn it off but Bluetooth is very low energy,

I'm pretty sure that watch, or in your opinion, radio waves from the watch is not cause of your stomach problem. Try to not wear the watch but be careful, auto suggestion is very powerful. Much more powerful than any radio waves coming from VA4.

And be careful what you eat, drink and do not worry too much ;)

Three radios ... don't forget about ANT+.

Pretty cool here, been meditating and doin yoga for over a decade. Got self-observation and a quiet mind. The first annoyance came from the bluetooth while in sync, it would heat up my arm from watch to buckle.. Scary... Second came the stomach aches, it only appears while wearing the watch close to the stomach.. I still cant find any SAR rating online or in the manuals. But the power of the bluetooth (Class 2, barely) Points towards possible big amounts of Radio Frequency radiation and high levels of SAR, (regulations which haven't been updated since 1996!) 

Anyway, watch is of my arm and I feel much better!

OK, three radios but all of them are low energy.

Well, if you believe that you can really sense radio waves and having problems, don't wear the watch. SAR rating will not help, only turning off radios completely which looks like is not possible.

Yeah it looks that way, support won't answer if the radios can be turned off. And wont assist me when I reported the problem... So Im stuck with a very expensive, and useless paperweight... never again these poluting devices coming near me... 

Heres the email communication Ive had with support, they refuse to answer my question, saying only developers have acess to this information? Is there any developers here on the forum that can supply some information regarding the amount of class 2B carcinogens our bodies are being affected by, while the watch is in DND mode with Bluetooth off???

Heres the email...

Garmin Support:

Our products have Bluetooth connection. This means that you can always switch off the Vivoactive 4s connexion or activate the "Don´t disturb" option aswell as canceling the conexion

Me:

Can your company show any test reports or evidence that all radios are truly turned off, and no radio frequencies are being transmitted.

Garmin Support:

I regret to inform you that at the detailed information you are asking at that level it is internal information that only developers have and it is not shared with the product support department, that is why we cannot give more information to the one already mentioned above. Thank you.

End of emails....

This all sounds very strange and shady... customer support avoiding to disclose potentially life damaging information regarding their products...

Here is some updated information regarding these EMR emitting devices...

A 2015 European research paper outlines guidelines for the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of EMF-related health problems and illnesses.

Are you not able to return it?

I think you are over reacting and reminds me very much to tin foil hat syndrome. EMR is NOT radio active. ERM must be really strong to be able to make any influence and even then makes molecules to vibrate which ends up as a heat. Check your microwave, how much energy is needed and how long to heat something inside. I'm guessing you are using cell phone. Well, your cell phone is emitting much more (up 2W) than VA. And radio waves intensity drops by inverse-square law...

And what about HRM light? Are you worried about that? That light is kicking your skin constantly? Surprise, light is also EMR. Including one coming from our lovely star, called sun.

Never said anything was radioactive... Take a look at the article "Electromagnetic Fields and Neurodegeneration" in the EUROPEAN GUIDELINES FOR EMR RELATED HEALTH PROBLEMS AND ILLNESSES.

It is not just your bodily liquids that are heating up, your cells are directly affected by any man made machinery that is powered by electricity that creates a magnetic field. Radio frequencies are even more damaging since they penetrate our bodies, pulsating at 2.4Ghz 24/7. It is certain to develop brain cancer in the elder population (happening right now in Sweden, a hundred percent increase in deadly brain melanoma for people over 70 years of age since the adoption of WiFi technology. Electromagnetic radiowaves, even in low frequencies, is known to cause braindamage and ADHD in children, and Alzeimers in the elderly... This is what one of these devices, strapped to your wrist does to your body... All other research that are paid for by the industry uses plastic dolls filled with liquid to prove their products is under the thermal limits of Electromagnetic Radiowaves set by the government in 1996.. Those studies does not take in to account the fact that we are a living organism!!! Studies on living animals have shown time and time again that these man-made electric fields are damaging to all life, at any amount.

If you still belive that these giant companies "test" their products for your safety and have your best interests at heart, read the paper and look up the references...
