As trux already explained, it doesn't matter the price or manufacturer, a thermometer is going to read the temperature from it's location. In this case it will measure body heat from your wrist.

useless since it ... shows the temperature on your wrist

It's not useless. As per the manual, removing the watch from your wrist for 20-30 mins will measure the ambient temperature. The thermometer will measure the water temperature while swimming. And the watch can be paired with a Tempe sensor to give you ambient temperature. Now if you choose not use the watch in the ways I just described that is your prerogative, but it doesn't make it useless.
