Solutions to GPS Signal Problems

If you experience problems acquiring or maintaining a GPS connection, try the following solutions:
  • If you cannot locate a GPS signal, take the watch outdoors for at least 15 minutes. Make sure there are no overhead obstructions, stand still, and try acquiring a GPS signal again. The GPS signal may be interrupted by tall buildings, tall trees, or mountainsides, so try to move into as open an area as possible.
  • Make sure your watch is paired with your smartphone. Your watch will automatically download your GPS location information from your smartphone.
  • If you still cannot acquire a signal, select Skip on the GPS screen to start your workout. Distance traveled will be estimated based on your stride until the GPS signal is fully acquired.
