Is it ok to wear my Hulk or Batman when sitting in the Sauna at the gym? I only do about 15-20 minutes but not sure if the heat would be bad for the watch. I don't feel comfortable locking it up in my locker as people still break into those things. Thanks!

These threads...... where is the facepalm emoji?

Yes, its fine. If it can go down 1000+ ft, some humidity isn't going to hurt it.

Sitting in a sauna isn't much different than sitting at an outdoor café in Panama, or Biloxi Mississippi in the summertime.

why would you want to? Hot metal on your skin as you are dripping with sweat.

I don't even like wearing a towel in the sauna.

Ditto

From a mechanical perspective? Yes, it's okay. From a societal perspective? No, it's not okay.

But if you're in a locker room it's better to wear it rather wear it than leave it in a locker that's potentially easy to break into and have it stolen.

you think if they steal your watch out of your locker that they will leave your clothes? I would honestly rather that they take the watch than having to go home naked.

You guys are worried about a watch

Dude....I'm in NYC and train at UFC gym. Tons of people get their lockers broken into.

cop414 · 25 April 2018, 02:15 AM

I wouldn’t do it for various reasons, mostly being uncomfortable. But to answer your question with this old Rolex ad copy I’d say no problem.

Love the add!

Coop13 · 25 April 2018, 02:42 AM

I'd wear it before leaving it behind/in a locker.

brandrea · 25 April 2018, 02:44 AM

Both are fine, but you’ll need the easy link and glidelock for your swelling wrist

cdmorenot · 25 April 2018, 02:58 AM

I don't think The Hulk or The Batman could hang ... The superhero suits would probably get all sticky and messy. Ain't nobody got time "fo dat"

On a serious note, yeah man, you can wear both without issues but isn't the point of a sauna to sit back, let loose and relax ? Leave it at home!

I don't have your particular watches, but my YM and OP swim and enjoy some steam or the sauna every other day.

beshannon · 25 April 2018, 03:09 AM

And what if someone said no?

Wearing any metal can be dangerous in a sauna. The watch can get hotter and burn your skin.

I always go in the sauna with my watch, the watch never gets hotter than my skin temperature and no way it will ever burn you.

Hmm.. good to know. Happened with me and my buddy in the sauna! His gold chain burned his skin a bit. Second time was my wrist watch. It wasn't a 3rd degree burn, but still!

BTW wearing a watch/Rolex in Sauna is to keep it safe or just cause you can and want to?

I'm more of a steam room guy, but I've done it a ton. It'll be fine

vipereaper30 · 25 April 2018, 03:35 AM

Could the watch hack it? Sure.

Should you make it a habit? I'd say no as I don't take my watches in overly hot or cold environments. My reasoning is that it is extra wear and tear on the seals that could eventually lead to failure or increased service intervals. I like nice things and I take extra care with them to keep them in excellent condition.

T01 · 25 April 2018, 03:53 AM

Pretty sure you're good to go considering the water depth rating.

Bruins7 · 25 April 2018, 04:54 AM

No worries! Don't feel bad or feel out of place for asking. The question not asked would be the dumb one :). It is totally safe!

droptopman · 25 April 2018, 05:49 AM

Wear mine in the sauna, steam room and hot tub everyday. Won't take a chance on someone breaking into my locker so always keep it on. Generally go straight from the gym to work. Been doing this for 30 years and never had an issue with a Rolex. Other watches yes, but not Rolex.

Rashid.bk · 25 April 2018, 06:26 AM

So good to see one of these threads fiiiiiinally pop up. The drudgery of investment and ending production of every Rolex model thread has been diving me crazy lately.

Your Rolex will be fine but make sure the crown is on securely.
