Is the temperature sensor any good for others?

As I feel it's pretty much off usually and even when swimming in cold water, where one could expect the water get to the sensor.

Like today looked at the swim temperatures: 16, 16, 17, 17, 16, 15, 16, 15 °C (For the US: 59-63)

And now I'm not sure where it's located, as is the location just bad or the sensor itself?

I would expect real temperatures to be couple of degrees less. Of course it kind of isn't much, but getting the real temperatures of the water while swimming would be nice.

Also kind of HW request for future watches, make it better! :)

    When I read you wanted to use a Tempe while swimming I thought, "No!  That will damage it.". But, according to the manual it's water resistant up to 10M, so.....
