Does Google Pixel Watch 2 Have Temperature Sensor

Name: Google Pixel Watch 4
Brand: Google
Availability: PreOrder
Rating: 4.8 (1250 reviews)

Yes, the Pixel Watch 2 includes a skin temperature sensor, a new feature not available on the original Pixel Watch.

Temperature Sensor Overview

New Feature: Not available on original Pixel Watch
Measures: Wrist skin temperature (not core body temperature)
Tracking: Continuous overnight monitoring
Data Location: Visible in Fitbit app under Health Metrics

Important: This is a wellness feature, not a medical thermometer. It shows variation from your personal baseline, not exact temperature readings.

How It Works

The temperature sensor operates automatically during sleep:

Overnight Measurement: Primary tracking during sleep (stable conditions)
Baseline Establishment: Learns your normal temperature over several nights
Variation Tracking: Shows deviations from your personal baseline
No Action Required: Passive measurement when wearing watch to bed

Health Insights

Temperature data helps identify:

Illness Onset: Elevated temperature may indicate illness
Recovery Tracking: Return to baseline after sickness
Cycle Correlation: Temperature shifts during menstrual cycle (rises after ovulation)
Sleep Quality: Temperature patterns affect sleep stages

Menstrual Health Integration

Temperature improves cycle predictions in Fitbit:

Enable Menstrual Health in Fitbit app
Log period start and end dates
Wear watch consistently overnight
Algorithm learns your temperature patterns

Note: Not a replacement for medical fertility tracking or contraception.

Viewing Temperature Data

Fitbit app Health Metrics Skin Temperature

You'll see:

Baseline: Your average skin temperature
Last Night: Most recent measurement
Variation: +/- degrees from baseline
Trends: Historical temperature graph

Factors Affecting Readings

Environmental: Room temperature, bedding weight, season

Physical: Illness, alcohol, late exercise, medications

Lifestyle: Sleep quality, stress, hydration, diet

For Best Results:

Wear watch consistently every night
Ensure snug fit with sensor contact
Maintain consistent sleeping conditions
Clean watch sensors regularly

Limitations

Not a Thermometer: Measures skin temperature, not core body
Relative Measurement: Shows variation from YOUR baseline, not exact degrees
Overnight Only: Daytime activity creates too much variation
Wellness Tool: Not for medical diagnosis

Temperature Tracking

The temperature sensor is most useful for detecting changes from your normal pattern. Sustained elevation over multiple nights may indicate illness, while predictable monthly patterns help with cycle tracking.
