Very inaccurate GPS tracking - Watch 6

I am not sure it's directly related to the beta, but I am using the latest beta on my Watch 6.

I have an issue when using the walking or running workout (I only do these workouts), after the workout when viewing the map I see many circles and kind of zigzags in the map, especially near trees and etc.. It gets all over the place, it's clearly not accurately tracking my actual route.

Could it be related to the beta? Anyone encountered this issue? 

This is very frustrating because these inaccuracies adds sometimes over 10%-20% to my actual distance.

Thanks!

I do not have the beta installed and have the same problem so I suppose is a software issue. 
Last medium marathon it tracked me 23.5km instead of 21.1km due to the insane zig-zaging

Hello @chro1

Thank you for your feedback on GPS inaccuracy after exercise. 

To help us understand the issue, could you please submit an error report (along with zig-zag screenshots on your map) right after your workout session? This helps us to check the latest error log. 

Galaxy Wearable Beta app> Search for "Contact us" as key words > Error reports (Please attach Screenshots if available)> Ensure "Send system log data" is checked and submit

Note: To ensure relevant log information is included in the error report, do not close the Samsung Members app until you receive a notification that error has been sent.

We apologize for the inconvenience and appreciate your contribution to the beta program.

Regards,
One UI Beta Team

Here are some screenshots that clearly show the issue, this is from Oct 1. 

I walked with my wife the exact same path, she has a Garmin and I'm with the Watch 6.
