Two sensors on the Apple Watch are linked to keeping track of your temperature. One is located below the display, and the other is located on the rear crystal. In addition, the clock is designed to limit external interference.

The watch is powered by a powerful algorithm that allows you to record your temperature every five seconds for processing and data accumulation. You should check the Health app’s base temperature to see relative changes.
