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

    No, there’s a high temperature in sauna that can damage the battery. Go ahead if you have insurance.

    Don’t do it. I tried this once just to see what happened and my watch shut itself off from overheating after 15 minutes. Once it got back to normal temperature it was fine, but it really isn’t recommended.

    All these replies and not a single person has referenced Apple’s own recommendations:

    Ambient temperature while you’re wearing Apple Watch Ultra: -4° to 130° F (-20° to 55° C)

    So it depends on the sauna temperature.
