Apple watch series 8 and Apple watch ultra brings one of Apple’s coolest features known as ‘Wrist Temperature.’ This feature displays data regarding your body temperature and gives insights into your overall health.
According to Apple, the watch will set up your baseline of wrist temperature and generate data after about five nights. Users must wear the watch for 4 hours and up to 5 successive days.
In addition to that, the temperature of one user can vary from another. It depends upon various external and internal factors such as daily activity, sickness, user’s routine, menstrual cycle, sleep cycle & hygiene, and other factors.
How Does The Apple Watch Measure Nightly Wrist Temperature?
The ‘Wrist temperature’ monitoring feature provides information about users’ body temperature, which varies from time to time, and their well beings. This feature can enhance your overall body health and improve your sleep cycle.
Sounds interesting. But wait a minute, do you ever wonder how this Apple watch works so well with maximum accuracy? So to answer this, the Apple Watch detects body temperature using its two sensors.
One sensor is under the watch display, and another is on the back and attached to your wrist. The Apple Watch remains completely intact from any external interferences to enhance its accuracy.
