temperature sensor what for?

[vinc14]

what exactly is the temperature sensor for? To measure fever it shows too cold and outside on a ski tour it shows too warm. So at what point does the sensor make sense?

@vinc14 Primarily to compensate for temperature variations that affect the barometric pressure sensor.

@vinc14 basically what @inkognito said. You may want to refer to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pressure_altimeter for more details.

@vinc14 oh, also - you can submerge the watch in water to see its temperature which some folks find handy. Or, while bushcrafting or in any outdoor environment - you can take your watch off and hang it somewhere to have an accurate temperature reading after some time.
