Hi
I normally take my watch off when going to the hot sauna and steam room, however I noticed some people come in wearing their apple watches, I keep wondering if this is safe especially for the battery to be exposed to such high temperatures and for the watch electronics overall ?
I still think it is unsafe but correct me if I’m wrong

I wore mine every day in the spa on the NCL Encore cruise ship on Alaska. My routine was sauna for 15min 140-150 degrees. Then ice room -20 degrees. Then foggy steam room for 15. Then hot therapy pool for 1/2 hr The watch is built for extremes!!!
I use mine as my 20 minute timer and have never had any issue with it
I’d swim with it but I wouldn’t take in a sauna. Don’t think it’s wise to do so tbh
Sauna is a place where I go to relex (every day, a Finn…) so I’d never use any electronics in a sauna. It would also feel very stupid to have a watch when you are butt naked.
Anyway, something that is waterproof may not be steam proof, I personally would not take the risk. But obviously you do you.
I just wouldn’t. You can leave your electronics outside and wait til later!
Whilst it’s not recommended, I took my Apple Watch Series 4 into the swimming pool (that’s ok) and sauna, steam room and infrared room 3 times a week for years. With zero issues.
I now confidently take my shiny new Apple Watch Ultra 2 in there and had zero issues.
I’ve never treated my Apple Watch differently than any other watch, worn it all sorts of conditions and it works fine.

I use a steam room about 30 minutes straight each day since 2018 and I’ve never had a issue
I use it all the time in the sauna previously with my series 6 and now ultra 2. Always run the cooldown workout to track my heart rate and usually stay in for 10-15 minutes and have never run into a problem. Sauna temp usually at 200 degrees Fahrenheit
Darn, I bring both my watch and phone in the sauna
Why would you take your phone with you in sauna?
Bringing your phone in a sauna is generally a no-no and is disrespectful to other people using it.
It sounds like it’s relatively safe to do it but I am not that brave, my OCD kicks in and I start imagining all sort of scenarios from burning to exploding battery lol
Yes, I have my garmin always so Apple Watch (ultra should so classic too) should too
I’ve been wearing them in the sauna since series 2 and I’ve never had an issue, honestly I think the sweat cools it off a bit because I’ve never had an overheating issue, the phone will overheat if you don’t splash water on it every now and then
I always use mine in the sauna with no issues.
i wear mine without issues
