Garmin Tempe showing wrong values

Hi,

I just connected a new Garmin Tempe to my Fenix 3 and it shows totally wong temperature readings. Temperature is about 30 degrees Celsius right now and the sensor reading jumps between -2 and 4 degree Celsius. Am I doing anything wrong or is the device defective? Unit is configured to Celsius on the device, not sure what else there is to set?

Thanks for your help!

Regards, Robert

Thanks, I guess I'll get mine replaced too.

Tried the reset it as you described, but the issue remains. When connecting initially it shows more or less reasonable valuers for a short time, but then…

Had mine replaced, just poor quality control.

I have the same problem with Tempe 187867?. It shows +16 degrees. Connected to a GPSMAP 86i. The 1st showed +16 degrees therefore I returned it. But the replacement I got now shows again +16 degrees. This is a lot of work to return this item.

Well, I have tried to use tempe with epix2pro. First attempt -20C. Ok, send back, buy a new one and surprise! -16C all the time. Both of them tried on edge 130 and edge 540 and same, wrong values. *** product, or I don’t know where’s problem.

I'd suggest buying from a different seller. You have another bad one. It's super common and people are still selling old stock because they likely bought them cheap.

Add me to the list of people having this issue with a brand-new tempe.

I am a Phoenix 7ss user..
This time, after purchasing a tempeh through Amazon, the tempeh is automatically connected when running the exercise mode after connecting it to the watch..However, the temperature indicator value is so ridiculous..The room temperature is 15 degrees.. But in Tempe, it's 35 degrees..No matter how many times you reconnect, you can't solve it..This appears to be a watch firmware or program error rather than a Tempe defect..

There's a ton if junk tempes, especially on Amazon. I've seen hundreds of people say theirs was junk qnd a replacement fixed the issues.
