Body Temperature - Thermometer is a Wear OS app whose Google Play listing says it is a Samsung Health Partner app. The same listing says it was accepted into the Samsung Health Partner App Program for authorized, reliable access to a watch temperature sensor.
What does the Samsung Health Partner claim mean here?
The Google Play description attributes its sensor access to partner-program acceptance. Samsung's developer documentation separately explains that a distributed Sensor SDK app requires approval and registration of its package name and signing signature. That describes the access mechanism; it does not independently confirm this particular app's registration or guarantee clinical accuracy. See Samsung's app distribution process and app verification explanation.
That is not the same as clinical approval. The listing also says the app is not a medical device and is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent fever or any medical condition.
Which watches are currently named in the listing?
The current compatibility section names Samsung Galaxy Watch 5, Galaxy Watch 5 Pro, Galaxy Watch 6, Galaxy Watch 6 Classic, Galaxy Watch 6 Classic Astro Edition, Galaxy Watch 7, Galaxy Watch 8, Galaxy Watch 8 Classic, Galaxy Watch 9, Galaxy Watch Ultra, Galaxy Watch Ultra (2025), and Galaxy Watch Ultra 2. Galaxy Watch FE is not supported because it has no skin temperature sensor, and non-Samsung Wear OS watches are not supported either.

What else does the listing say about privacy and setup?
Google Play describes standalone watch operation, a Tile and a watch face complication, plus an included companion phone app for history, charts and a home screen widget. Its developer-provided Data safety section declares no data collection or third-party sharing, and the description adds that the app has no INTERNET permission and that the watch and phone communicate only over Bluetooth.
