Track your nightly wrist temperature with Apple Watch Series 8
Wear Apple Watch Series 8 to bed to track nightly changes in your wrist temperature, which can provide insight into your well-being. In addition, Cycle Tracking can use wrist temperature data to improve period predictions and provide retrospective ovulation estimates.
To establish your temperature baseline, wear your Apple Watch to bed with Sleep Tracking turned on.
Important: The temperature sensing feature is not a medical device, and is not intended for use in medical diagnosis, treatment, or for any other medical purpose.
Set up wrist temperature tracking
Set up Sleep with Track Sleep with Apple Watch turned on.
To establish a temperature baseline, ensure the Sleep Focus is on, then wear your Apple Watch while sleeping.
Wrist temperature data will be available after about five nights.
Note: Your body temperature naturally fluctuates, and can vary from night to night due to a number of variables. Wrist temperature can also be impacted by external factors like your sleep environment.
Review your wrist temperature
Open the Health app on your iPhone, then tap Browse.
Tap Body Measurements, then tap Wrist Temperature.
To show sample details, tap a point on the chart.
Turn off wrist temperature tracking
Open the Apple Watch app on your iPhone.
