What temperature can watches withstand?

Question on the hot plate used for the condensation test. How does the hot plate indicate that the watch itself has reached 56* or whatever temperature it needs to get to? I know the hot plate is giving off that temperature but does it have a sensor to indicate when the watch case itself reaches that temperature? Or do you need go use a digital thermometer or similar to know when the case has reached the temp?

that’s it? I would think there’s a more definitive way to ensure that the watch itself has reached the temperature it needs to be at. Don’t different materials (titanium, stainless steel, etc) reach temperatures at different rates?
