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

Finn here,

It’s not recommended to wear AW in a sauna, due to high temperatures and humidity (steam).

However you typically keep your hands low in a sauna, where the temperatures are not high. I occasionally wear my watch in sauna, for example at a public swimming hall. So far no problems with that.

Reading the comments the American sauna is like a warm breeze to European saunas lmao.
