Hi, I just received my new GW6C yesterday and all settings and functions so far so good. I have but one question concerning the new Tempature Sensor on the watch. I understand that it tracks body temp while sleeping and can aid in period cycles. From what I also understood or thought, you should be able to measure the temperature of skin, objects or water. I can seem to figure this out or find any apps for the function. Could I please get the necessary info and assistance on this function please.
Thank You, Scott

There is no native way to measure temperatures on the watch. There might be a few apps, like Thermo Check, that accomplish this however.

I just downloaded the app, Thermo-Check. It measures objects and water but not skin or body temperature. It seems pretty accurate but it would be nice to be able to measure skin and body temp. Is this because the FDA hasn't approved it in the USA like blood pressure measuring which is allowed and available elsewhere in the world? Or Galaxy holding back obvious watch functions.

It's likely due to the fact that developers haven't taken advantage of the device's API to access the sensor. It's possible that Samsung could eventually enable this function too.
