Sauna?

[wba1990]

One reason I upgraded to an S4 was to be able to use my watch in the swimming pool, however can you use it in a sauna? I usually finish a swim with 20 mins or so in the sauna, wondering what if any guidance there is on doing this, or would the heat be too much?

Anyone able to advise if they’ve done this?

Your AW should be able to take any temps that you can.

I sit in the steam room sometimes after swims, usually for no more than 10 minutes. Never had a problem. I sit in the heated whirlpool, too. Haven’t tried a dry sauna, tho.

Apple does not recommend it

The following may affect the water resistance of your Apple Watch and should be avoided:

• Dropping Apple Watch or subjecting it to other impacts.
• Exposing Apple Watch to soap or soapy water, for example while showering or bathing.
• Exposing Apple Watch to perfume, solvents, detergent, acids or acidic foods, insect repellent, lotions, sunscreen, oil, or hair dye.
• Exposing Apple Watch to high velocity water, for example while water skiing.
• Wearing Apple Watch in the sauna or steam room.

Aside from Apples recommendation not to use the Watch in the sauna, the issue that it poses, is the steam penetrating past the water resistant seals on the watch, it’s a risk I wouldn’t take when it’s not rated for such.
