Choose your timer, follow your heart rate, and save each session to your iPhone and Apple Health. Large controls, background timing and haptic alerts keep the essentials close at hand.

Yes. Start and monitor the session on Apple Watch, then sync the completed record to iPhone when the devices reconnect.
How to log a sauna session on Apple Watch.
1. Choose sauna or steam room
Tap Sauna or Steam Room. The choice takes you straight to the timer screen, even if you select the currently highlighted type.
2. Choose your time
Pick one of four defaults and slide to start. Defaults are managed on iPhone and flow to the Watch.
3. Stay informed
During the session, see time remaining, live heart rate, active and total calories, and the optional cold-shower setting. Slide to stop early or add more time when the timer completes.

The timer is designed to keep its timing when the display is off. End-of-session and heart-rate alerts can use Watch haptics and notifications when enabled.
Heat conditions, when you want them.
Manual entry keeps the feature useful for public facilities and home setups without requiring extra hardware. Choose Celsius or Fahrenheit in the iPhone app and carry that preference across Apple Watch and session history.
80°C / 176°F · 10% humidity
Adjust it on the Watch for a particular room. If you leave it untouched, the iPhone record marks it as the remembered default.
45°C / 113°F · 100% humidity
Separate defaults mean a regular steam room does not overwrite your sauna setting.
Ignore it completely.
Temperature and humidity are there when they add context, not as another task you have to complete.
