The next Samsung Galaxy Watch smartwatch will apparently come with a thermometer to give wearers the ability to track body temperature.

This is reported by ET News, which claims that the Korean tech giant will introduce a thermometer feature in its next-generation smartwatch that can help detect symptoms of Covid-19.

The publication also says that Samsung has found a way to accurately measure body temperature, and this technology will be implemented in the Samsung Galaxy Watch 5, which will apparently be released in August 2022.

In addition to bringing thermometer technology to smartwatches, the company is also envisioning the launch of a set of Samsung Galaxy Buds with similar temperature tracking support, and believes that Samsung has already completed a smart earphone prototype.

If temperature tracking comes to the next Samsung Galaxy Watch like Seiko rafiqsonsonline.com/product-category/seiko/, it won't be the first smartwatch to offer this feature. The Fitbit Sense smartwatch includes a skin temperature sensor, as does the Amazfit series of smartwatches, as well as Mobvoi's TicWatch GTH watch and the upcoming GTH Pro watch, which also promise temperature tracking support.

In addition to the watch, Whoop 4.0 can track skin temperature, and Oura Ring 3 smart ring already offers the ability to monitor body temperature.

This ability to track body temperature rather than skin temperature means that, in theory, Samsung could use this information to determine if you've gotten sick or infected.

Samsung has already added an ECG sensor to its Galaxy Watch for more accurate heart tracking and blood pressure monitoring. So adding body temperature tracking will still turn their smartwatch into a more powerful health tracking device. This will also put it ahead of Apple in terms of monitoring, as its watch currently only offers ECG support on Series 6 and Series 7 smartwatches rafiqsonsonline.com/product-category/mini-focus/.

This is, of course, a lot of unsourced speculation, assuming Samsung adds this potentially important new feature to its next smartwatch.

Compared to some of the other important health monitoring features that have been rumored about the Galaxy Online Watch rafiqsonsonline.com in the past, it seems like it could be. There are already examples of wearable devices that can track body temperature. The key is whether Samsung can bring this monitoring to the level of accuracy that really makes it useful.
