Question

My skin temperature measured during sleep and my body temperature measured with a thermometer are different? / Is my skin temperature during sleep my body temperature?

 

Answer

  • Skin temperature and body temperature are different values.
  • When you wear the watch while you sleep, the feature uses the watch's IR temperature sensor to measure the temperature of your skin surface, and through this, the skin temperature during sleep, which has a high correlation with the basal body temperature, can be extracted.
  • Keep in mind that this skin temperature value is different from the body temperature measured with a thermometer.
