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.
