I’ve run using my Apple Watch for over a year. The last two occasions I’ve taken it for a run some of my route is replaced by grey dots (see pictures). This happened 9 times on the run I’ve just done, effectively losing about 400m of the run affecting splits and total distance. It looks like others had this problem years ago. Did anyone find a fix?
Apple Watch
hi, thanks for the response. It’s tight on my wrist like always and no tatts. It’s annoying that I lost nearly 3 minutes of running (Apple Watch credited it as 10k in 1 hour 3 mins, Strava said 10k in 1 hour 5 secs.
thinking about hard resetting it or tracking the run with Strava and seeing if the same thing happens?
Those grey dots are weak or no GPS signal and the dots are the watches way of filling in the gaps.
Is the watch snug on your wrist and is the watch on top of any tattoos?.
You could try also resetting fitness calibration data;
watch app/privacy/reset fitness calibration.
Apple Watch seems to drop in and out when running
