I got my Sense for Christmas. Today was the first day I had enough data to show my skin temperature. Apparently it is -1.5 degrees Fahrenheit. Am I misreading something? I really don’t think I should be frozen...
If you look carefully, I think you will see it says "below baseline". The first few days it was establishing your baseline. Now it reports skin temp relative to your baseline.
Before posting, re-read to see if it would make sense to someone else not looking at your Fitbit or phone.
Fitbit doesn't tell you what your baseline temp is; you can see how your skin temp varies and is trending, but not the actual values.
Also note this is not internal temperature, like what you would measure for a fever, so, for me at least, knowing my actual skin temp would have no meaning.

So, that means this does not do what I thought it did and is pretty useless to me...
Also, skin surface temp is usually 2-3 degrees (F) lower than internal temp. example, my internal temp stays around 98 degrees F (my temp is lower than most) My skin temp is typically 95-96 degrees F.
Haha, maybe you had some hand cream or something on there that messed with the temperature reading. Had something similar happen after I tried some creams from https://shopmaryann.com/ on my hand to see how the blending is and forgot to wipe it off. The watch reading was super off after that and I couldn't figure out why for a long time.
