WatchOS 7 Beta 2 GPS Issue

[Jglez]

Hi,

I have noticed with my Apple Watch Series 5, whenever I go in a biking session outdoors, I will need to reboot the watch, otherwise what happens is the KM-count does not move up and thinks I have not actually biked at all.

Is anyone else experiencing similar issues with the beta?

My issue is that the map of the ride doesn’t show up in activities, though mileage did. Not sure if it’s the phone or the watch, as I’ve been riding with both since upgrading. I did do a Ride with GPS ride today and it mapped fine.

I have the same issue. My km count is far too low. Rebooting before starting the activity doesn’t help in my case.

Having the same issue on my series 4 watch. Just went to the shop 1.5km each way. Two separate workouts, walk there registered .5km & 0mins, and the way back registered 1.5km & 23mins.

Yesterday’s walk didn’t register at all and that was about 3km (again to the shops).

My rowing and strength/core workouts have so far registered as before.

I am on a S5 beta 7.2, but I am using app WorkOutDoors and it is working fine tracking my outdoor biking sessions. Maybe try a different app?

Mine fixed itself in Workouts on the third ride. Also working on cellular without phone. How some of these bugs come and go, I wonder how much the cloud is involved in what we see, since no updates were made on the device.

Agreed, I have experienced something similar lately where the last workouts where measured with an accurate KM count. Since no update has been made to the watch, I believe it might have something to do with the cloud or some other online service the watch relies on to make the measurement.


The one thing I am not sure of is wether my watch can measure an activity without me having to reboot it first, I just kept doing that each time without first checking if it was broken not to loose any of my activity, but I suppose it is time to try again. Will report!
