Apple Watch SE 40mm not tracking wrist temperature

Hello All, I bought a watch SE 3 40mm for my thirteen son, but I see that it is not tracking the wrist temperature while he is sleeping. I have updated to ios26.1 both watch and his phone but, in the watchApp>privacy_settings I do not see any temperature toggle to switch on…I think this watch has the temperature sensor right? Focus mode sleep is on, and from my side (since he’s under Family group) I switched off all the privacy restrictions. He has the watch during the night since several days, more than a week. Does anyone know what is happening? Thanks in advance!
