Sounds like a useless gimmick - a watch with a thermometer that only works if you don't wear the watch. Give the damn thing to your team medic and tell him to use it as a rectal thermometer.
The best watch I have ever had for field use was a $15 cheapo from K-mart. I've had it for years and still use it.
