I have a Samsung Galaxy Watch 7 since this week. I previously had the watch 5.I notice on the new watch 7 that the GPS data is incorrect. I use my new watch 4 times a week for running, often the same lap. The watch 7 shows a pace that is too fast for some laps and the kilometers are also too short. My lap of, for example, 10 km is already 700 meters before I have actually run 10 km, according to the watch, already at 10 km. I also see on the map that there is not a neat straight line across the path. Settings are exactly the same as on the watch 5.
Are there more people who have this with the new watch 7?
I'm wondering if my watch has a hardware problem, or if the software for the new dual GPS module is not quite ready yet.
Comparison of round with watch 5 and watch 7:
I have an LTE model, and when I run, the GPS goes off significantly. It can show a total distance of 5350m even though I've measured 5000m. The same goes for 10k meters. I've tried turning off WiFi, restarting the watch, and resetting it, but without any results. You can clearly see on the map that it goes off track, sometimes even creating a loop along the route, and so on.
I've also tried turning on GNSS in developer mode.
Previous galaxy watch 4 with ultra 23 gps okayish. See in pic
Just bought new watch 7. Gps accuracy total **bleep**. ( nowadays you can't write word c,R.a-p they will bleep you )
