If you're someone who enjoys the benefits of a sauna or steam bath, you may be tempted to wear your smartwatch while you sweat it out. However, it's important to understand that doing so can cause damage to your device and potentially even void its warranty.
One of the main reasons you shouldn't wear your smartwatch in the sauna or steam bath is because of the high temperatures. These environments can reach temperatures of up to 150°F or more, which can cause the battery and other components of your smartwatch to malfunction or fail. Additionally, the humidity in the air can cause condensation to form on the device, potentially causing water damage.
Another reason to avoid wearing your smartwatch in the sauna or steam bath is that the heat can cause the materials of the device to warp or become damaged. For example, the heat may cause the straps of your smartwatch to become loose or the metal parts to become discolored.
It's important to note that we specifically warn against exposing our devices to high temperatures and humidity, and doing so may void the warranty on your device.
In short, it's best to leave your smartwatch at home or in a locker when you head to the sauna or steam bath. Not only will this help protect your device from damage, but it will also allow you to fully relax and enjoy your time in the sauna without any distractions.
