The temperature widget, if you have a Tempe sensor, will pull the current temperature from the sensor and also the 24h high/low temperatures, which are stored on the Tempe sensor's onboard memory (a feature…

Well if you take the watch off so that it is not influenced by body heat you could use it as a thermometer, once temperature has stabilised to ambient environment. The temperature widget will track changes…

I believe it is on 24/7, you just need to install the app. It's kind of useless as the temp sensor is used by Garmin mainly for calibrating other apps rather than for personal use, unless you're willing to take your watch off and set it aside for 20 minutes. But there is a great app on Connect IQ, called Body Temperature, that converts Garmin's temp reading to body temperature. I've checked it against a digital thermometer and found it is very accurate.

Have made the same experience with this data field. If one want/need more accurate values: you have to buy a core sensor.

About 5 times a day my Fenix 6 says

Fevermon: Temperature Alert

I need to switch this off as it’s annoying. Any ideas?

Do you have a Connect IQ app (widget) called Fever Monitor installed?

Maybe the alert is coming from there. But if you uninstall it, you won't be able to get it back since it's been removed from the store.

just bought a Tempe sensor. Paired it. However the device does not stayed paired. Why? Have to weight 1 - 2 min everytime I use the temperature widget to get connected and receive a reading. I stay with in range of the device.
