APPLE WATCH ULTRA GPS OPEN WATER SWIMMING ERROR

Hello, as many of you I’m also facing serious issues with the Apple Watch Ultra and I’m an Apple Watch owner for many years with nearly all the models.


In open water sea swimming it’s not recording my swims properly and skipping a lot of data points.


I have never had this issue and it’s just not recording the swims correctly in the open water. Where this was fine in the past. Any updates expected from apple fixing this problem?


Its now giving me totally useless data, where this was all fine in the past with the previous models.


Is this a technical flaw where I need to go back to the Apple Store or a software issue where we need a software update?

Hello WillumVDH,


Thanks for using the Apple Support Communities!


As this is a user to user community, no one here is able to speculate about any updates that may be coming in the future or what they may resolve.


If you're noticing issues with the accuracy of your workouts, the first thing to try is calibrating your Apple Watch to see if that improves things: Calibrate your Apple Watch for improved Workout and Activity accuracy - Apple Support


Hope this helps!
