Apple Watch GPS not working

Hi everybody,


I run with my Apple Watch SE, using the Adidas running app. When I start the run with my watch, the GPS does not work. Only after 2 or 3 km (or never) does it start to trace my race.

However, when I start the app via my iPhone there is no GPS issue. The GPS issue is only with the watch.


I already reinstalled the Apple Watch, but the issue is not fixed.


Thanks for your help!

I tried twice and - indeed - the Native App is working. Thanks Randy-12.

Good news is that the itinerary is automatically also tracked in the Adidas app.

Bad news is that I can not ear the parameters in my Airpods (pace, distance, bpm, etc.). There is only a vibration in my watch each km I run.

Do you know if it is possible to ear those parameters with/via the Native App?
