Great news for Galaxy Watch 5 users: the new temperature sensor is finally here! By sensing your core body temperature, the Galaxy Watch 5 and Galaxy Watch 5 Pro can now offer more support in providing thorough menstruation tracking. Quite impressive, isn’t it?! According to the tech giant, the new function is being added “gradually” to the Samsung Health app in the US, South Korea, and a few other European nations. Are you excited about the new update?
How does the temperature sensor work?
Samsung x Natural Cycles made it possible for the new feature to reach the Samsung Galaxy Watch 5 series. The devs warn us that the feature works in some ways that may interfere with our lifestyles. For instance, if you use hormonal birth control or get some medication that delays ovulation, Galaxy Watch 5’s feature won’t be reliable when it comes to ovulation tracking.
According to Samsung, the new functionality tracks your body temperature via “infrared technology” in order to identify whether you’re about to ovulate or have started your period.
Moreover, all the predictions rely on how frequently you wear the watch. So, for an accurate reading, you’ll probably need to sleep wearing the Galaxy Watch 5. Most important, though, is the fact that Samsung Galaxy Watch 5’s users must be at least 18 years old.
What’s best is that Galaxy Watch 5’s temperature sensor will assess your BBT (basal body temperature) right from the moment you wake up, so you won’t lose time counting the days since you got your last period. That’s absolutely incredible! To get all of that and even more, remember that your Samsung Health app must be updated. Check out that under Cycle Tracking to locate the function.
Finally, as you record your symptoms in the daily journal, Cycle Tracking will analyze them and provide recommendations for lifestyle changes as you approach that time of the month.
