A buddy and I have both have the same Vector, and we used them in the Grand Canyon in July. He attached his to his shoulder strap and I wore mine on my wrist. We compared readings every time we checked the temperature, and each time it was either the same, or within a degree or two of each other. We have done similar experiments in other conditions, including much colder temps, with the same results. In my experience, there is no real need to take the watch off to get a temp reading, unless you are concerned about the possibility of a degree or two of difference.

it should be noted that the thermometer will only tell you the temperature of the back of your wrist unless you take it off and set it in the environment you want the reading from for 10-15min.
