Apple watch 8 will NOT track temperature

I followed all the instructions on the temperature tracking page to turn on temperature tracking. I have a sleep focus turned on, I checked the privacy settings. It has been weeks. It is only tracking sleep and respiration during sleep, but no temperature data.

I have a very erratic sleep schedule and sometimes have trouble regulating my body temp, especially when trying to go to sleep. Temp data could be quite helpful. (I had to make sure the sleep focus schedule covered most of the day when i might go to sleep, so i am sleeping during the sleep focus time)

I do not menstruate, but i even turned on cycle tracking just to see if that would start tracking my temp, but that did not work.

How else do i enable temp tracking?

Recap:

sleep focus- on/scheduled

privacy- enabled

The watch absolutely knows when i am sleeping because i have other sleep data including the REM, Core, Deep, and respiration.

Zero temp data after weeks of above enabled.

I might be able to help you with this! Keyword - might

Just yesterday I realized that I didn't have any temperature readings despite having owned the watch (Series 8) for 6 weeks or so.

I discovered that it was telling me "5 more nights".

Yesterday I made a small change to my sleep schedule on account of something else. Something that I noticed this morning was that the screen wasn't on and that I had to shut off sleep. Magically, I got a "Good Morning" on my watch.

Wow!

After reading your post, I went into Temperature in Health and guess what? Only 4 more days to go now!

I updated from an 11Pro Max to the 14 Pro Max (about 8 weeks ago). Everything pretty much copied over from the old phone. After 8 weeks though, I'm finally realizing that everything wasn't really functioning correctly.

I was only getting sleep information, just like you.

So, go in and make a small change to your schedule like adding a minute, or even delete it and re-enter the same one.

Try that ;-)
