Stole/ lost watch
My watch went missing from the spot I left it, however when I go to find my device, it shows up at places I was at but seems like 24 hours later. How does the tracking actually work?

Tracking will shows the last known location for about a day, and thieves tend to not want to get caught and thus work to avoid providing location data. It’s also quite possible the Watch battery has been depleted, and thus no location data can be provided.

So what is it detecting when showing me a location?
