How long this takes will depend on how much difference there is between body temp and the atmosphere. You will need to remove the watch and allow the temperature of the case to stabilize with the atmosphere. The Thermometer will not read correctly with the watch worn on the body. Both the pressure and temp calibration can be changed but the use of the "ADJUST" button. The sub-display will read out the temperature.
