Would the magnet in some bands effect the spinning type hard drives in laptops? You are supposed to keep magnets away from them and many will rest their wrists right where those HDDs are installed.
 
It requires magnets much stronger than those found in the bands to wipe or damage a HDD within the casing of a computer.
 
You need either an electro magnet or a rare earth magnet to wipe a drive
