My phone does not register my Apple Watch as a data source for wrist temperature and it has no data.

the Wrist temperature sensor does not work. My phone does not even recognize my Apple Watch 8 as a data source. Apple keeps ignoring my complaint and I’ve have this watch for 3 month now with no baseline data for wrist temperature.


Apple Watch, watchOS 3

Hi symfonie,


Thanks for posting in Apple Support Communities. First, make sure that you meet these requirements mentioned in Track your nightly wrist temperature changes with Apple Watch


"Here's what you need

  • An Apple Watch Series 8 or Apple Watch Ultra.
  • Sleep must be set up with Track Sleep with Apple Watch enabled.
  • Sleep Focus must be enabled for at least 4 hours a night for about 5 nights."


If those requirements are met and the same continues, test with a Sleep schedule if you don't use one already. This might help since it will provide a scheduled time for sleep temperature data to be captured. The following guidance is from Set up a schedule for a Sleep Focus in Health on iPhone.


"Set up your first recurring sleep schedule

When you set up a Sleep Focus, you can set your next bed and wake up times. This schedule repeats only once. To set up a recurring sleep schedule, do the following:

  1. In the Health app, tap Browse at the bottom right, then tap Sleep.
  2. Scroll down to Your Schedule, then tap Full Schedule & Options.
  3. Tap Set Your First Schedule, then select your options:
    • Set the days for your schedule: Tap a day at the top of the screen to add or remove it from your schedule. The schedule applies only to days shown with solid-color circles.
    • Adjust your bedtime and wake up schedule: Drag the Bedtime button to change your bedtime, the Wake button to change your wake up time, or the semicircle between the icons to shift both times simultaneously.
  • Set the alarm options: Turn Alarm on or off.
    • When Alarm is turned on, you can choose a sound, its volume, a vibration, and the snooze option.

4. Tap Add."


All the best.
