Or should I just deduct the 10-12 degree temperature difference (when I'm wearing the watch) to determine actual air temperature?

The instruction manual that came with mine says to take the temperature with the watch OFF your body - after allowing 20-30 minutes for the watch to stabilize with the ambient temperature. That makes it a lot less useful than the other sensors. My solution is a Kestrel 4000 at the range and a Zipper pull thermometer in the woods. Though personally I find it's usually better not to know how miserable you really are.
