Analysis of Apple Watch running data

I thought this was a well known issue with the Apple watches? They only start looking for a GPS fix once you start the workout, which is the worst time since, well, you already started the workout and are running, making getting that fix that much harder.

I think the Ultra watches now have an option to wait for a fix before starting (which is what always happens on the Garmin's).

Apple Watch uses the iPhone’s gps when the phone is close by.

This is no longer true for Series 8 and Ultra watches. What I’ve not found out is whether this true of any Apple Watch running watchOS 9 or just the latest models.

Watch will use the phones GPS because it has a bigger battery unless you separate them and then it will use it on

The point of the watch is not needing to bring you phone...
