    Hi

     

    Apple Watch is designed to work best in ambient temperatures between 32° to 95° F (0° and 35° C). Using it outside of the recommended temperature range could shorten its battery life or cause other damage.

     

    It should not be subjected to dramatic changes in temperature or humidity. Apple also advises that wearing your watch in a steam room or sauna should be avoided, as it may affect your watch's water resistance - so it may be prudent to avoid exposing your watch to steam whilst cooking.

     

    Apple Watch is splash and water resistant but not waterproof. You can, for example, wear and use Apple Watch while washing your hands. Leather bands are not water resistant.
