Can I leave my watch in a hot car?

Baume & Mercier’s website warns “do not expose your watch to extreme temperatures (above 60ºC/140ºF, or below 0ºC/32ºF).” Each company will have slightly different standards, but keep in mind the inside of the watch must reach that temperature.

Is Apple Watch heat resistant?

Apple Watch is designed to work best in ambient temperatures between 32° to 95° F (0° and 35° C), and should be stored between ambient temperatures of -4° and 113° F (-20° and 45° C). Storing and using your device outside of the recommended temperature range could shorten its battery life or cause other damage.
