Magnetic bands and laptop spinning hard drives?

[8CoreWhore]

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.

I highly doubt the apple watch will damage or erase your hard drive.

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

You're supposed to keep your MacBook's MagSafe connector away from your iPhone too, for the same reasons...
