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

    Took my Ultra in for my first time… After 9.5 mins, it shut down and displayed a temp logo with red in it.

    The third time I used the sauna without the Ultra, I saw someone had an Apple Watch, so asked how his responded in this heat. He said it had never been an issue and had never shut down.

    I then pondered aloud whether mine had shut down because it’s titanium rather than aluminium and might have conducted the heat more. He got up and left. I meant it as a genuine science conundrum, but he might have taken it as me being a tosser.
