GPS Not Working

Your Samsung smart watch has a GPS sensor that can monitor your real-time location without connecting to a phone. When connected with a phone, the watch will obtain its GPS location from the phone to help improve the location accuracy. However, GPS on a Galaxy Watch Active2 may not be accurate or take longer (about 2-3 minutes) than usual to obtain your location if the watch is disconnected from your phone for more than a day.
