Just like how we can watch our heart rate, track our sleep, female health, and all-day activities it would be awesome if you included a temperature monitoring/tracker as well for people who have temperature control issues I think that would be a great addition to one of those watches that has it all just like I stated above...then this watch would be everything I'd need..

Hi @LadyAlley. That's a fantastic idea and thanks for explaining why you'd like to have a Fitbit that tracks your temperature with us! This feature suggestion already exists, so I’ve moved your post here. Don’t forget to post a comment and click on the thumbs-up to show your support.

Based on the charge 3 weather app and design changes from the Charge 2 to the charge 3, adding additional sensors to future fitness trackers to measure the external temperature and/or body temp would be cool. I'm probably part of the minority who don't take their phones outside with them and during the winter it would be cool to get a direct reading from the watch that isn't dependent on information from my phone.

I suggest a new device. A digital basal thermometer that women can use upon waking that will automatically input their Basal Body Temperature into the female health section of the Fitbit App. 

This will improve cycle tracking, fertility tracking and can be used as pregnancy prevention.

Since Fitbit can sense heartbeat, can't it sense user's body temperature?

I believe it can but it would not be as accurate as a digital
thermometer placed under the tongue as soon as you wake for the purpose of
tracking cycles and fertility.

I think a great way to improve Female Health tracking would be to offer a way to take and track basal body temperate. I know doing this on the wrist would not be the most accurate, so my idea is to offer another device, a digital thermometer with Bluetooth that can automatically upload the data to the Fitbit App. It would be similar to the scale product already offered. There are many other apps offering this service to women, but I would prefer to be able to keep everything in the Fitbit app for simplicity and convenience.

If Fitbit could monitor our blood pressure and body temperature, we would get more accurate information of how much we actually burn. It would also

I'd like to see further enhancements to the sleep score that take into account the room temperature and your body temperature, then make recommendations like 'You had a restless sleep as your room appeared to be too warm and the humidity was x, we advise a room temp of x and a humidity less than y for an optimal nights sleep'.

Sleep feature is good and has helped me sleep better but good to see what the next level of advice could be.

I have asked before for this feature. Please add to the app or device the ability to manually update blood pressure. Just like we now manually update weight and water consumption. I need to monitor blood pressure and do not like using some other app to do so. Some BP devices link to their app. Fitbit links to weight scales.

Having the ability to record on the dashboard blood pressure, glucose levels and temperature would be great. Not asking for the app, although that would be great. Small steps......

Great idea. Would like to monitor my blood pressure also using my Charge 3.

Hi @HenkeriHippie! Great suggestion, thanks for sharing your feedback. I've moved it into a similar request.  A lot of users are asking for this option, I hope we receive updates soon. You might be also interested on checking this other suggestion: blood pressure measurement (without the pressure cuff).

I think al Fitbit's should tack your temperature.

Love the idea. Sensor would be on clock face on the top and would take temp when arm is raised and clock face is placed against forehead for a specific amount of time to register. When not taking forehead temp, it would take ambient room temp upon pressing of button and a screen tap. Given current concerns, another screening never hurts.

Now that we are dealing with a temperature sensitive virus, Fitbit should definitely include a temperature sensor.  The sooner the better.

It would be really great if my fitbit could track my body temperature. Especially with the current fears of covid-19 anyone with a fitbit would immediately know if they had a fever.

I would love for my Versa 2 to be able to track my body temp. I agree that a sensor alongside the existing wrist sensors would be most convenient if possible/accurate, and notifications if our temp is elevated (perhaps customizable as to what temp threshold(s) triggers an alert) would be very useful.
