Watch Fit 5 Pro - sauna overheating

I wore my new Watch Fit 5 Pro in the sauna for the first time today. It overheated and did an auto switch off after a message came up about overheating. Obviously it was really hot in there. However, I wore my previous watch (Garmin Venu Sq 2) in the sauna without any such problem. I'm guessing that it's due to the 5 Pro having metal surround whereas the Garmin is all plastic. Next time I'm going to wrap a cloth around the watch and see if that helps.

Not sure if there's a general issue with the 5 Pro overheating. Of course a sauna is an extreme heat environment! However I see many other people wearing smart/fitness watches in the sauna without issues.

Watch Fit 5 Pro - pickleball activity?

I've just bought the 5 Pro watch. I can't see any activity/sport for pickleball. Lots of other sports in there. Am I missing something? I'm aware there's integration with PickleballX app but this isn't what I want....just a way of categorising my pickleball matches in the same way as you can do with tennis, badminton etc.

Even just an option to rename an activity or recategorise it after recording would be fine but I can't see that. Eg. Log the activity as Badminton and then rename it once the activity has completed.

I had the Garmin Venu watch prior and this has a pickleball activity and ability to rename after completion.
