Apple Watch GPS data

I have an Apple Watch S8  GPS only but I cannot get it to track GPS data either from the Strava app or native Fitness app. All other stats appear to be okay but not sure that they might be inaccurate due to no GPS tracking?

Hello @LelamOnline 

Sorry to hear that.  If it seems like GPS is not working on the watch, I would recommend contacting Apple for further assistance.  https://support.apple.com/watch

Good luck and let us know if you have any more questions for the Strava side of things.

Hello @LelamOnline 

Thanks for posting about this and sorry to hear of the issue.  Can you check to make sure Location Services is turned on?  On Apple Watch, go to Settings  > Privacy & Security > Location Services to turn location services on or off.

If it is turned on, try turning it off, then on again.

Hi,

 

No luck. I think it is just an Apple Watch issue as it cannot get any GPS data. It can find my location initially but then doesn't follow me from there.
