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

Apple’s docs state not to wear it in these circumstances. You can find them somewhere.

Anecdotally, I’ve never taken mine off at the spa. I go frequently, and do multiple bouts of 20 minutes in steam, sauna, hours in hot water, etc. I’ve not had an issue. The only place I ever take it off is at the beach, as the sand will destroy it.
