Elevation on Apple Watch Ultra 2 not working

Having the same issue with my Apple Watch Ultra 2 using the Apple Workout app for running. Eventually the altitude being displayed will start to get erratic then disappear. It usually comes back at some point. If I look at the data for elevation after the run it is all there and looks normal so seems to be more of a display thing. If I use the WorkOutDoors app to record the run the altitude is always displayed with no issues. I was hoping OS 10.1 for the watch would fix the issue with the Workout app but it did not.

Very disappointed with that. Hope Apple can solve this issue asap

Try downloading and installing "MyAltitude" app. (it's free)

See if that works. If it does, it's a sfw issue.

If it doesn't it may tell you that your Watch is faulty...worth a shot.

I have an Ultra2 and it works fine with both apps, so give that a try.

Good luck.

Still having the same problem with OS 10.4. Running on wide open trails and altitude display comes and goes. Really irks me that a 2.6 trillion dollar company will not fix this. May have to go back to my Garmin watch.

I also realized my elevation does not show, even though I don't need it too much. I saw the advice below in another thread, and I realized my settings were the same as advised. Nevertheless, I selected "Never" and returned to "While Using the App." Additionally, I toggled the "Precise Location" OFF and back to ON again. Then, the elevation worked perfectly on the Watch Ultra 2.

"Try this: Go to your iPhone --> Settings --> Privacy --> Location Settings --> Compass. There you can change the setting to While Using the App. This will change your setting on your watch and the altitude and other coordinates should appear. Hope this helps!"

Thanks! Will try that on my next run. Today after the elevation disappeared I stopped and noticed Cellular data roaming was off. I turned it on and my elevation popped up. I thought that was the problem and was super happy until the elevation disappeared again.
