Yes. I use my phone in rain/snow and boats all the time plus it's nice to be able to use it in sauna also

    I feel like that defeats the purpose of sauna a bit...

    But anyway, I thought heat rating was a different metric entirely?

    Sauna is a place where you either chat with other people or sit with your thoughts. It's blasphemy to bring your phone in there.

    I thought that chatting was rude because people are trying to enjoy the silence (for a public sauna).

    Well, that depends on the culture where you live, but at least here in Finland - the sauna capital of the world - it’s perfectly fine. In fact, Finns in general are quite introverted and don’t talk much, but in the sauna you don’t only undress your clothes, you undress titles as well. Everyone is equal there, which makes people more open to starting conversations with strangers. In the past, it was even a place where many political decisions were made.

    Cool! I guess it's just the culture where I am in the USA. Some people do chat (usually not English so idk what they're talking about) but most people turn inward.

    Some people bring their phones in. Some people even exercise.
