Is anyone thinking of getting the new Apple Watch to track BBT? ⌚️📈

[Treesa22]

I’m so tempted. I have tried traditional BBT in the past but it really disturbed my sleep.

Has anyone bought it and started using it yet?

I had to Google what BBT was😳, is it for fertility, if so it is no good for me as I am old.

I have also just see this is in 'conception', sorry OP, I'll get my coat

Does it measure to 2 decimal places like bbt thermometers? My boyfriend gets a discounted Apple Watch with his vitality life insurance but I thought it said that it measures to 0.1 degree.

Good question, the Apple website and screenshots seem to indicate it will measure to 2 decimal places...

I had a quick look and it’s taking measurement at wrist and giving fluctuations from a baseline temperature.. which isn’t bad if you already use watches for other reasons, it may be ok but I wouldn’t buy it just for bbt/ovulation tracking when a thermometer costs £2 and fertilityfriend app is free 😬

Hmm good point! I wonder why it shows deviations from baseline rather than the actual figures (which it must surely know/log)?

My current, old, watch is a lifeline to me. It’s amazing. So I could be tempted to upgrade. And doing BBT with the thermometer just impacted my sleep too much.

Hmm but this doesn’t quite seem to do what I’d like it to do!

I bought the apple watch 8 in Oct and used it for BBT for 3 cycles so far. I would say pretty accurate, but it makes me a bit anxious sometimes during tww. This is what charts looks like on the apple health app.
