However, popular analyst Ming-Chi Kuo now says the Watch Series 8 with body temperature measurement could still happen in H2 2022. <\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"inline-image\" width=\"1200\" height=\"668\" alt=\"Apple Watch Series 7\" src=\"https:\/\/fdn.gsmarena.com\/imgroot\/news\/21\/09\/apple-watch-series-7\/-1200\/gsmarena_001.jpg\"\/><span><strong>Apple Watch Series 7<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p>Kuo says last year&#8217;s Watch Series 7 didn&#8217;t feature body temperature measurement because the measurement algorithm failed to qualify before entering EVT (engineering validation test). <\/p>\n<p> It is crucial to get the algorithm correct to achieve accurate results. A smartwatch doesn&#8217;t have hardware to measure core temperature and must rely only on skin temperature. This can vary depending on external environments. <\/p>\n<p>Hence, if the algorithm meets Apple&#8217;s quality requirements before the Watch Series 8&#8217;s mass production begins, the smartwatch will come with body temperature measurement, else we&#8217;ll have to wait longer for an Apple Watch that can measure body temperature. <\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"inline-image\" width=\"1200\" height=\"509\" alt=\" LeaksApplePro)\" src=\"https:\/\/fdn.gsmarena.com\/imgroot\/news\/21\/11\/apple-watch-series-8-leaked-render\/inline\/-1200\/gsmarena_001.jpg\"\/><span><strong>Apple Watch Series 8&#8217;s leaked render (Source: <i>LeaksApplePro<\/i>)<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p>The analyst further said that Samsung is also facing similar challenges with its Galaxy Watch 5, and the smartwatch might not measure body temperatures due to algorithm limitations. <\/p>\n<p class=\"article-source\"><a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/mingchikuo\/status\/1520711546502250497\">Source<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/div>\n<div class=\"source-image\">https:\/\/fdn.gsmarena.com\/imgroot\/news\/21\/09\/apple-watch-series-7\/-952x498w6\/gsmarena_0000.jpg<\/div>\n<div class=\"source-link\">https:\/\/www.gsmarena.com\/apple_watch_series_8_could_feature_body_temperature_measurement-news-54167.php?rand=119<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Watch Series 8 could feature body temperature measurement if Apple gets the algorithm right The Apple Watch Series 8 expected to arrive in Q3 2022 was rumored to feature body temperature measurement, but a report earlier this year claimed an Apple Watch with a body temperature sensor is not coming for at least another year.
