Can the Scubapro Galileo Sol monitor skin temperature?

[CandiveOz]

When the Scubapro came out with the heart rate monitor chest strap, I think it was a simple Polar T31 where you could not change the battery. In later years, it introduced a new chest strap where you could change the battery. In addition, this new chest strap could monitor your skin temperature as well as your heart rate.

Would someone please tell me what the Polar model number is for this strap?

I know the Sol measures water temperature but does anyone know if the Sol monitors skin temperature if the new strap is worn or is this only applicable to the G2? If this is the case, was it necessary to upgrade the firmware on the Sol to obtain this functionality?

Thanks for your help.

I'm pretty sure the answer is no. The skin temp came with G2.

Hi Hatul,
Thanks for responding. I didn't think so but I became confused after reading a post (see below) where Beaverdivers suggest it was possible on the Galileos.
Scubapro heart rate monitor

The skin temp. would alternate with the heart rate and show up in the same window as the heart rate.

But you must have the new Scubapro heart rate monitor. Also if you must have the heart rate upgrade for the Luna, which you must have since you see the heart rate on your Luna. BTW, the Galileo Sol comes with the upgrade.
