About The Apple Watch 8 Temperature Sensor

By Isobel Coughlan. Updated: Jul 26, 2022

Apple Watch 8 temperature sensor

The next generation of the Apple Watch is a highly anticipated wearable. But, one potential feature is receiving more buzz than the rest – the Apple Watch 8 temperature sensor. 

Some claims from Apple Insider suggest that the Apple Watch 8 might come equipped with a skin temperature sensor, allowing users to monitor their body temperature. The device may also send notifications if a fever is detected. 

You might already know about this exciting feature if you’re staying up to date with the latest leaks and hints. However, if you haven’t heard anything, keep reading! We’re delving into the Apple Watch 8 temperature sensor rumors to see what you can expect for the next wearable release. 

What Is A Temperature Sensor?

So, the Apple Watch 8 might come with a temperature sensor. Let’s look at what this means. 

The additional sensor will likely read the temperature of the wearer’s skin, and from this information, it will provide a body temperature estimation. Temperature sensor tech has recently come to the forefront of science, with body scanners used to check guests’ temperatures for travel and hospitality. An on-wrist function would give many users peace of mind about their health!

Not only that, but this temperature feature could also deliver alerts to users when their body temperature passes a certain threshold. ‘Fever’ alerts may indicate the start of an illness or just let the user know that they need to rest a little. 

Apple isn’t the only company exploring this new feature, though. The Galaxy Watch 5 might also feature this innovative tech. See more here.

Why Do We Need This?

Knowing your body temperature is fun, but why do smartwatch users want this feature?

Firstly, knowing your body temperature is a good way of predicting and monitoring illnesses. If your body is fighting a virus, you’ll see a jump in temperature. Examining your temperature daily will allow you to stay on top of your health.

Additionally, knowing your body temperature in the summer months will help you avoid heat stroke and other sun-related illnesses. If your temperature rises, it can signify that it’s time to ditch the sunbed and head inside for a while.

Finally, a temperature sensor could also help women trying to conceive. Research shows that their body temperature rises slightly during ovulation. This will allow women to monitor their bodies throughout the month when family planning.

What Else Will The Apple Watch 8 Offer?

Of course, a temperature sensor won’t be the only update for the next Apple wearable!

According to a Twitter leak, the new wearables will likely come in a larger size. Expert Ross Young also stated that three new sizes might come in 2022. This may also point to larger displays, ensuring the watches provide high-quality graphics and easy-to-read data.

Other rumored features include:

  • A ‘rugged’ design option
  • Diabetes trackers
  • Sleep apnea detection
  • Satellite connectivity
  • Improved sleep tracking
