I got a new Charge 5 and I don't understand how the skin temperature works.  What does 0.3 mean.  I thought it would show an actual Fahrenheit temp for example 97.  What am I missing?

1)  It is just the skin temperature, not your internal temperature so you would not expect it to be anywhere close to "normal" 97.

2)  What it shows is just the variation from you nightly average.  Your 0.3 means last night your skin temp was 0.3 degree warmer than your nightly average.

 

I don 't know of any particular use for that information, but it's there if you're interested, maybe just to verify if you felt cold or warm last night.

Before posting, re-read to see if it would make sense to someone else not looking at your Fitbit or phone.
