Wrist temperature full data access (trend)

Hello,


One of the reasons that made me buy the new series 8 watch is the wrist temperature. Though I’m disappointed by the current limitations as it only gives the average for each night. I’m not interested so much by what my temperature is at a given moment (even if it would be awesome), but rather in the temperature’s trend.


Is there a way to access every data point from every night that were used to calculate the average ?

I’m particularly interested in the overall temperature trend throughout the night, meaning how it decreases/increases, to spot the lowest temperature point (called « temperature minimum » in the circadian rhythm’s context).


In the same fashion, would it be possible to have that wrist temperature trend throughout the day also ? To spot the temperature maximum. That would mean allowing wrist temperature measurements through the whole day.


Thanks

Apple Watch Series 8

Hi there -nybm,


You can learn more about tracking your wrist temperature changes at night with this information from Track your nightly wrist temperature changes with Apple Watch:

About Wrist Temperature
Your wrist temperature is a measurement related to your body's temperature taken by your Apple Watch while you're asleep. Your body temperature naturally fluctuates and can vary each night due to your diet and exercise, alcohol consumption, sleep environment, or physiological factors such as menstrual cycles and illness. After about 5 nights, your Apple Watch will determine your baseline wrist temperature and look for nightly changes to it.

If you use Cycle Tracking, your wrist temperature can also be used to provide retrospective ovulation estimates and improve period predictions.


These are the only features that currently use your wrist temperature data. However, if this is something you'd like to see changed in the future, then we would encourage you to submit your feedback about this here:

Cheers!
