Can we please see the actual skin temperature vs. the deviation from average? This isn’t helpful to track if my average is changing as I recover from an illness. Thanks!

Hey actually I don’t think that would be possible as the sensor is always against the skin and so becomes the same temperature as your skin so it can only measure when it changes as then your skin and sensor is at different temperatures

This doesn't really make sense.  If the temp sensor can only sense changes (which I question, because this is like saying that digital thermometers can't tell what temperature the air is because they are always in the air), then how does the fitbit tell you deviation from average...which is supposedly the data it's reporting after I sleep.  In order to know your deviation from average, it would have to actually know your average temp!  Unless it is sensing the changes all day and comparing your nighttime temp to your daytime temp?
