Knowing if your temperature is higher or lower than normal is a useful information, at least for me.

Yes. It detects fever perfectly. The main problem is that the watch doesn’t report it on time. Once I get a fever and some infection I know it on the day, of course, but the watch knew it one day before. When I go and check my baseline temperature I can see that even the day before I felt sick, the watch reported +0,5-1 increase.
So the watch needs to include in some morning summary / alert that it detected increase over night.
Athlytic gives you a report every morning against baseline with your wrist temperature, HRV, RHR, respiration rate & SPO2. The last 2 times I’ve been sick it has given me a days warning. I didn’t listen to it, but that’s my fault. I will in future though, time will tell I guess if taking it easy the day before getting ill has any meaningful impact on how ill I get…
Oh wait let me try that thing. It can save me in advance if it works.
I bought Wristy :) it does exactly one thing that I need it to do
At this stage it provides an interesting confirmation that I have been, or are, ill, or potentially ill, or something. I guess it's early days but ultimately I would hope that the morning report would include a temperature warning along with battery level and weather report.
It does not show any data for me? How to get it working. I have enabled it in Privacy options.
Make sure you’re looking at “Wrist Temperature.” There are a few other temperatures (body, basal body) that are not measured by the Apple Watch.
I’ve had my watch for a month and it’s never down a temperature reading.
