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

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.
