If you wear asmartwatchorfitness trackerdaily, do you regularly sanitize the band?
The paper detailed how researchers tested smartwatch and fitness tracker bands worn by 20 random, anonymous people.
The bands were rubber, plastic, cloth, metal and leather.
Luckily for us, they also researched how to clean the bacteria off.
The paper didn’t specify, beyond saying the cleaning should be “regular.”
Or you could just switch to a metal band, in particular one made of gold.
And do not wear a plastic one if you’re germ conscious.
