Jello Jeep Posted October 3, 2020 Report Share Posted October 3, 2020 Hello there. I was out caching, getting used to my Apple watch.. Noticed as I close in on GZ, the distance showing on compass mode gets down to say 10' . If I put my arm down, or it goes into its sleep mode (Apple Watch 5) When I raise my arm again, it says for instance 279' and then it takes time for it to settle down again,, Any thoughts on that?

Nic Hubbard Posted October 4, 2020 Report Share Posted October 4, 2020 On the watch location updates don’t continue when the watch when the screen goes to sleep, so it has to get a fix each time it is turned back on. However, I will do some testing myself and see what I can do to improve this. Banzai 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Team DEMP Posted October 4, 2020 Report Share Posted October 4, 2020 I would say it could be what Nic noted which also can occur just on the phone itself. I also have read reports of users who updated to iOS 14 seeing unexpected GPS behavior on their watches - https://www.macrumors.com/2020/09/30/apple-watch-iphone-battery-drain-gps/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
