Is it possible to wear the new Whoop Life MG in Sauna? Are the Data in the Sauna important for my long term data? Or does it make no difference and I can just leave them off? it would be great to get some first-hand experience ---

WHOOP is built for all-day, everyday wear, but it’s best to avoid exposing it to extreme temperatures below 15°F or above 140°F. ---

Conductive metal close to skin in saunas can scald, ask me how I know. Soft plastics might permanently deform when subjected to extreme high heat. Phone, Whoop, bluetooth speaker, glasses, keys…leave them all on the bench outside for the 15-20 mins session. Focus on breathing. Recommend felt/linen hat. Log the session manually afterwards. Polar plunge is okay. ---

Why does Whoop have Sauna in the activity list? Thats incredibly daft if it’s against recommended use! ---

I do, and I just keep one hand over the device to isolate it from the heat. That way it shouldn’t get too hot. Wouldn’t recommend doing it any other way but I haven’t had any problems like this. If you can still feel it getting hot just leave the sauna early. ---

For a 15min session, it might be okay to wrap it with a linen bandana or wet scrunchie (ymmv), but also okay to value this tool and leave it off outside, rejoining to log sesh afterwards. ---

Just start the Sauna Activity on the phone before you get in the sauna and end it when you get out. Your Whoop can store ~14 days of data without a phone connection, so you will get HR and Stress changes afterwards. ---
