- What was reportedGalaxy Watch5 would introduce body-temperature measurement.
- Who said it, and whenETNews reported it on Mar 9, 2022.
- What happened, and whenWe have not confirmed when Galaxy Watch was announced.
- The verdict, and whyMoving targetThis was right about the plan at the time. The company then changed it.Why: Galaxy Watch5 shipped an infrared temperature sensor and temperature-based health tracking did arrive, but Samsung's own support page says skin temperature and body temperature are different values, and the sensor was inert at launch, activated in April 2023 for cycle tracking. Body temperature as distinct from skin temperature never shipped. What the company published
What do these words mean?
- Right
- It turned out the way this report said.
- Partly right
- Some of this was right and some of it was not.
- Wrong
- It did not turn out this way.
- Moving target
- This was right about the plan at the time. The company then changed it.
- Never settled
- The company has announced the product and nobody ever confirmed or denied this.
- Not comparable
- This measured a different thing from the number the company published, so the two cannot be compared.
- No outcome yet
- Nothing has happened yet that would prove this right or wrong.
- Not checked yet
- The company has answered this. We have not finished checking this one.
- Checked
- Checked means the company has since given an answer and we compared it with what was reported. Details still waiting on an answer, details nothing can settle, details where the plan itself changed, and details we have not finished reviewing are all counted separately and are not part of that number.
- Moving target
- A moving target is a report that described the plan accurately at the time, on a product the company then changed. We count these on their own: it would flatter a reporter to call them right, and it would blame a reporter for a decision that was not theirs to call them wrong.
