If you want to stress your battery less (and insist on continuing this :-), make sure it is NOT fully charge when you do so; ideal, around 50%. Battery tends to last a lot less time in high heat and close to 100% charge (A LOT LESS); at 50% you only take a bit of a hit.
Thank you i was not aware of that.
I think your advice automatically happens since i go to yoga in the evening.. Where my battery is around 50 % ish..already !
I will report as i abuse more! So far it has proven very tough !
Cheers
Wow. You realize you are exceeding the warranty operating conditions significantly. Apple advised no hotter than 95 degrees, low humidity environments (specifically stating no steam room use).
The ?Watch is designed to spend 18 hours/day in strong thermal contact with a 37 °C (98.7 °F) heat source. This thermal source is commonly known as the human body. If the Watch is placed in a colder environment, then its attached heat source will tend to warm it to a temperature approaching 37 °C. If it is placed in a warmer environment, the its attached heat source converts automatically into a heat sink that will cool the ?Watch to a temperature that approaches 37°C. Prolonged exposure to temperatures above 37 °C will damage the heat sink faster than it damages the ?Watch. This sink will tend to relocate to a lower temperature environment preserving both itself and the attached ?Watch.

Except that's NOT what Apple states -- they speak specifically of AMBIENT temperatures.
Operating temperature Apple Watch is designed to work best in ambient temperatures between 32° and 95° F (0° and 35° C) and be stored in temperatures between -4° and 113° F (-20° and 45° C). Apple Watch can be damaged and battery life shortened if stored or operated outside of these temperature ranges. Avoid exposing Apple Watch to dramatic changes in temperature or humidity. If the interior temperature of Apple Watch exceeds normal operating temperatures (for example, in a hot car or in direct sunlight for extended periods of time), you may experience the following as it attempts to regulate its temperature:
• Charging may slow or stop.
• The display may dim.
• A temperature warning screen may appear.
• Some data transfer may be paused or delayed.
• Some apps may close.
Important: You may not be able to use Apple Watch while the temperature warning screen is displayed. If Apple Watch can’t regulate its internal temperature, it goes into Power Reserve or a deep sleep mode until it cools. Move Apple Watch to a cooler location out of direct sunlight and wait a few minutes before trying to use Apple Watch again. For more information, see support.apple.com/kb/HT6621.

I think the parameters are more robust than Apple's conservative specs. The reason it is potentially a problem is because it is being worn on a persons arm which is far more likely to be exposed to below freezing temps and excessive heat and direct sunlight than an iPhone. Which is a shame because accessing your iPhone via your wrist would be ideal in extreme weather conditions. I know just being able to use it on a ski lift would take the worry out of potentially dropping my iPhone when I pull it out of my jacket pocket with numb fingers.
unless you're a corpse there is nothing to worry about. your wrist isn't sub-32-degrees.
now...bring us more FUD! I demand MORE FUD!! <clap clap>
Well iFixit shows that the Sport appears to contain lower quality parts than the Stainless model they disassembled. But who knows.
The official marketing point for the Ion-X glass is that it makes the light aluminum watch even lighter (presumably for sporting activities, like running and cycling). So theoretically it is an application segment description. It's just a coincidence that all of these materials are cheaper than on the stainless. ;-)
" . . . lower quality parts . . ." — more cynical twisting for the purpose of FUD-mongering. The Sport has a less shatter-prone composite back (instead of Zirconium) and crystal because it's designed for rough service.
You've replaced Benjamin Frost as the main anti-Apple shill here
I'm not worried about comparisons to medical grade devices, but I do want to see how it compares to a dedicated chest strap monitor, especially at near maximal effort (180-220 BPM or so). THAT is what I want to replace, for gym workouts and bike rides. I suspect it won't compare well for that use, but the fact that it can pair with a chest strap is useful.

I won't be popular for speaking the truth here but I will as I'd like to help you out. I just got my Apple Watch yesterday - sold it today. The reason being how inaccurate the heart rate monitor was at the gym. I always wear a chest strap so I know what my HR is doing certain exercises. The Apple Watch wasn't even close. For example, when my HR would normally be 160 BPM, the Apple Watch would normally reflect anywhere between 90 - 134 BPM. I did some research and found others that had the same problem when lifting weights. It turns out that is the key and on their support page they say the watch is better at monitoring the HR for "rhythmic activities" like riding a bike or doing elliptical and it's not as good at things like boxing or weight lifting. Well, in my experience it's useless for weight lifting (unless you also have a Bluetooth chest strap.) It was running so low that where my calories burned would normally have been 650 it said it was 274. It also took a long time when taking a new measurement - sometimes about 30 seconds.
So, if you're lifting weights, doing circuit training, cross training or anything where you won't have a steady heart rate then you're not going to find the Aple Watch very useful.

I've used the Mio and at high BPM or anytime my wrist is moving (paddleboarding, weight lifting, etc) it is more than 30 BPM off a chest strap.
