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 talked to a guy at the Apple Store about this when I upgraded from my 6 to my current AW2. I used to wear my 6 everyday into the sauna btw. He said it is not meant to be worn in the sauna at all, it’ll kill the battery faster. Along with all the other issues mentioned on this thread.
