What do you mean?

On wrist or off wrist?

What termometer are you comparing it to?

If you mean the temperature is not accurate on wrist then that is normal. This is the case for all ABC watches. They will show the temp of your wrist rather then ambient temperature.

To get accurate ambient temperature you must leave it off wrist for about 20 minutes.

The only circumstances where the watch will give rather accurate readings on wrist is on hot summer days where the temperature in the sun is greater then wrist temperature or if you are in the water swimming then you will get a accurate water temperature within 10 minutes.

However dont go pressing any buttons whilst in the water to see this temperature reading! They aren't meant to be used underwater, even though they are tested and ensured for a proper water tight seal...

... Unless you own a Suunto diving watch, in which case, press all the buttons you like
