Apple Watch Series 10 showing inaccurate location

Hi,

When I go outside with my watch to walk, after 10 minutes, it recognizes that I am walking, and asks if I want to record activity.

I confirm and move forward until I stop and end the activity.

Once that's done, I go to the fitness app and see that the route is always wrong.

Apple store already replaced the previous watch once by this new I'm using because of the same issue, but issue persist on this new device. What do I do?

The Backtrack feature is not always available, and might also depend on the region, where you bought and are using your watch.

Have a look at this discussion:

Did you make sure, that on your iPhone in Settings/Privacy & Security/Location Services is enabled for the Apple Watch Workout App?

Can you see your location, if you use the Maps App?

In which region are your using your watch?

Did you own an Apple Watch before and had no problems?

What if you start your "Walking Outdoor" right away, instead of using the workout reminder?

The phone is normal and all enabled.

The Maps App, works normal.

I bought one series 10 3 weeks ago, the issue came up. I presented to the Store, they replaced the watch. but the issue still persist.

I will try out tomorrow start right away. however, I would guess traceback function wont work well, considering the accuracy that supposed to be the same.

I'll try both situations and share.
