Hell yeah it's safe! That wooden thermometer will break before your 5513 will. Nice!

I'd be more worried about the camera.

Love the 5513

Yes but are you. Obviously the thermometer is in accurate. That's got to be about 200 F and way to hot. Not sure the Rolex would be good in that environment for real.

I'm sure the watch would be fine. There is a thread here with a Rolex GMT in boiling water.

Man, watch out! When you throw water on those hot stones the humidity that's released will penetrate straight into the movement!

The iPhone can take it remarkably well. Well, I didn't wear my iPhone in the sauna.

Hot air is much different from hot water.

The watch will feel as my skin to the touch. Not very hot. However touch something metal that is not in contact with your skin or other cooling and you'll get a burn.

The watch is being cooled by your precipitation and skin temperature. Wood is also a poor conductor of heat, why the interior of a sauna is wood, and not for example metal.
