About

This data field displays your estimated core body temperature. An external sensor is not required for Garmin watches. Other similar apps on the Garmin Connect IQ store are intended for core temperature estimate during physical activity. This app uses an improved algorithm which gives accurate results during rest and daily activities as well as during vigorous exercise under hot and humid conditions. It does not depend (entirely) on the watch temperature sensor, thus may also be suitable for swimming activities. There is a poor correlation between wrist skin temperature and core body temperature, especially during moderate and intense physical activity. WARNING: Garmin wearables are not medical devices, and the data provided by this app is not to be utilized for medical purposes and is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease. The the accuracy of the core body temperature estimate provided by this app is not guaranteed due to individual differences in physiology and environment. # Features Units (Fahrenheit or Celsius) follow your temperature units setting in your watch system settings NOTE: Compatible Edge® cycling computers require the use of an external heart rate sensor. # FULL Version Features * Option to save the core temperature trend graph FIT file for viewing in the Garmin Connect app. * Faster (15 second) update interval * Option to display Physiological Strain Index (PSI) [0-10 scale indicating the degree of physiological strain due to core temperature, heat and work load] . This feature uses the Basal body temperature setting. You can use my Health Dashboard and Musee Reborn 2 watchfaces or Core Temperature widget (link below) to measure your basal body temperature. # Widget version For the widget version of this app, with on-watch graphs, see: https://apps.garmin.com/apps/445c7bc7-f737-4baa-ad29-f13a9621bc5f # Difference Between Skin Temperature and Core Temperature.
