I showed you recently how the new Vitals feature in watchOS 11 might help you predict when you’re about to get sick. That’s not a feature Apple advertises for the Apple Watch Series 10 or any other Apple Watch model that can perform the Vitals readings. Still, users have discovered that some of the Vitals trends the Watch collects are reliable predictors of sickness.
Vitals records up to five health parameters, depending on the region and whether you enable some of them: heart rate, respiratory rate, wrist temperature, blood oxygen, and sleep duration. Blood oxygen is a feature Apple can’t use in the US on account of a patent dispute. Wrist temperature is a feature that will require you to set up a Sleep Focus every night.
The latter turns the Apple Watch Series 10, Series 9, and Series 8 into thermometers of sorts. But there’s a big problem with this approach. Apple isn’t ready to advertise the Apple Watch as a thermometer, so you can’t use it as one whenever you think you have a fever.
Also, the Health app doesn’t display regular temperature readings. Instead, the Watch shows you a baseline and then tells you the differences between each night.
That said, you can see the actual temperature readings that Apple Watch models with temperature sensors register. All you need is the iPhone paired with that Watch.
