735XT in sauna, good or bad idea?

I wanted to go to sauna after my swim workout at a public pool. For obvious reasons I would prefer not to leave my watch outside.

Given that 735XT is waterproof, is it also steam proof? I'm mostly concerned about high temp, rather than humidity.

Any experiences or advice?

According to the Forerunner 735XT Owner's Manual...

Operating temperature range: From -20º to 50ºC (from -4º to 122ºF)

So, for equally obvious reasons, do you think that's a better idea than putting your watch away in your locker, after your swim before going into the sauna?

I see

Thanks for quick reply and pointing to manual, which I clearly missed to consult.

...so jacuzzi is probably borderline but any sauna wet or dry is a clear no.

Definite no-no. Steam penetrates the watch and ruins it. I am the voice of experience.

[h=3]Controlling sauna equipment with a smartphone[/h] I bought the smart sauna timer from Thermomart in the following link,
http://www.thermomart.com/cellphone-wifi-app-google-alexa/Timer-Pool-Spa-Hot-Tub-Sauna
The product works. It’s good quality. It is easy to download the app and I paired it in 15 minutes.
This timer saves me $30-$50 a month and also I do everything on my cellphone or by voice (by Amazon Alexa, Google Assistant) from anywhere!
The Timer can be programmed as scheduled (24 hours 7 days with 8 events) or loop timers if you want to use more event every day. It has a countdown timer too.
It has a waterproof box and it is suitable for outside. I use the sharing system and now my wife can control the saunapump too.
Would definitely recommend purchasing.ciq.forums.garmin.com/.../1469004.jpg
