The numbers it is giving you are not your actual skin temperature but the variation from your normal skin temperature, so 0.2C below your normal, or +0.6C above your normal.

 

Also, it can only track your skin temperature. Your core temperature (which is normally around 37C) can't be tracked by your fitbit and you have to enter the data manually. 

 

There's lots of good info on tracking temperature in this help file: https://help.fitbit.com/articles/en_US/Help_article/2458.htm
