Makes sense. Could a fever still be detected with the wrist temperature? I was reading the wikipedia page on fever, and it has this interesting graphic showing different fever patterns:

...so naturally I was wondering if this could lead to rough diagnostic method using a temperature sensing fitness wearable.
What exactly are you looking for WRT your body temperature? Because for most fitness wearables, you just going to be able to log deltas. Kind of a solution looking for a problem at this point.
Overall, you should have well-defined goals before you purchase because a device that can log a bunch of body telemetry gets boring pretty quickly without solid goals.
