State of the Apple Watch technology

Apple products exude a special attitude to life! Active Applers wear their tracking watch for hiking, kiteboarding or even swimming. We always go out of the house with the current topics of the day, the weather and WhatsApp messages are supplied. Some people no longer want to part with their life companion on their wrist!

Since the second version of the Apple Watch is waterproof, you can easily wear it in the wellness area. Places such as the hot tub, swimming pool and under the shower are no longer a problem. Either consciously or unconsciously, the watch is simply left on the wrist when going to the sauna. After all, it's a sports watch and for some, sauna is considered a form of sport!

Good reasons to take your Apple Watch with you to the sauna! AAABER..!

ATTENTION: Please read the text completely! We advise from the Use of all electrical devices like a smartwatch in the sauna! The reasons can be found at the bottom of the post! Apple's fitness tracker records your vital signs! Therefore, many people are very interested in how their body changes during... sweating behaves. The Apple Watch Series 4 even offers an ECG!

Actually ideal for people who spend time alone in the sauna! The clock can also be used as a stopwatch if there is no sauna hourglass hung on the wall.

Went to the sauna with your Apple Watch?

Go to the sauna with your Apple Watch is not a good idea! Has your Apple Watch come into contact with more water than the manufacturer's recommended amounts of water? It is advisable to clean the surface immediately with a soft cloth. The best thing to do is to take it to an Apple store or a certified Apple dealer immediately.

Do not carry out these actions afterwards:

• Do not expose yourself to heat such as placing your Apple Watch on a heater
• Do not charge immediately
• Don't shake
• Do not insert anything into the Apple Watch openings, such as a wire or cotton swab

Sauna and clocks

But now comes the big but! In the sauna (and steam room) temperatures can vary depending on the weather Sauna session and method of easily over 100 degrees. Anyone who has ever sat in the sauna with a normal watch will quickly notice this! Metal parts become extremely hot and uncomfortable on the skin. As long as they are not in constant skin contact. Even the Glasses in the sauna should be removed. The frame can become so hot that the marks on the skin become visible. There's nothing to see in the sauna! For this reason, glasses racks are provided in front of every sauna in thermal baths etc.

Apple Watch Sauna Yes or No? So what does the manufacturer say?

Apple clearly writes about this on its website! The Apple Watch is currently water-repellent, depending on the model, but not waterproof! Water resistance of IPX7 according to the IEC standard 60529 applies to the Apple Watch Series 1 and Apple Watch of the 1st generation. Series 2 and Series 3 watches are even water-repellent up to 50 meters according to ISO standard 22810:2010. By the way, leather bracelets, link bracelets and Milanese bracelets are not waterproof.

However, this water resistance can be affected by improper handling, e.g. B. the sauna session can be affected! Apple therefore advises every customer not to wear an Apple Watch when going to the sauna. The water vapor and the high temperatures destroy the highly sensitive smartwatch.

Conclusion: Technology and jewelry do not belong in the sauna!

Apple Watch sauna? A clear no from us! Neither the Rolex nor the Apple Watch should be worn while sweating! Also jewelry and the glasses must be removed while taking a sauna. An Apple Watch costs a good 300 euros at the entry level. The risk of a defect is clearly too high! I hope we were able to inform you well about this particular topic inform !
