Narrative:
After takeoff the gear was retracted and we got a brake overheat warning. The first officer ran the quick reference checklist and as I was already below 210 kts; he dropped the gear. At this point the brake temperature monitoring system (btms) showed 15 and was slowly climbing. It reached 20 and stayed there for a bit before dropping to 16 or 17 and then climbing back to 20. After running the checklists and discussing the warning; the number readout and the weather in ZZZ1 (we were a diversion from there originally) we took a conservative approach and returned to ZZZ. On short final the btms went to all yellow dashes and on touchdown went to a red 01.looking back I think we made the correct choice to return; as the symptoms of a faulty btms per the checklist was not completely present until landing/short final. In the future I may approach this exact scenario a little different but stand by our choice to return.
