I know it tracks basal temp while asleep but not exactly sure what actionable insight that provides? Anyone here find it useful?

    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…

    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.
