Does anyone’s Apple Watch series 11 workout GPS do this?
I think the Apple Watch SE uses the phones GPS signal if it’s connected. Apple stopped using the phones GPS signal to assist the watch on series 7 or 8. For reference I went from the series 6 to the series 10 and noticed a significant decrease in route quality and found out this was the case.

Why should I?
The only reason you’d get the Ultra would be for dual GPS for running. I doubt you’re a deep sea diver. Extra day or two of battery life is nice but not worth double the price. Everything else including a larger screen can be found on the regular Apple Watch Series 10.

Two Weeks After Switch from Garmin
I just read about Precision Start on the Ultra. This makes them work just like Garmin (for the past 20+ years) where you can see the GPS lock (and HR data start to work) before you manually start the workout. On my Series 7 (and on the Series 10) it does the 3..2..1.. and starts your workout without

Help with Junctional, ectopic beats? M 21
Hmm my apologies, there are a few inverted p waves so by definition it’s junctional. If no diziness, SOB, chest pain, AMS, N/V. Then it’s likely benign and nothing to worry of. But then again 12L is the golden standard and Apple Watches make loads of mistakes.. (I have the series 11 Apple Watch)

Apple Watch Series 11 HR wildly inaccurate (180 bpm on easy runs) — Ultra works fine. What should we do?
Given that the Ultra read ~125 on the same run while the Series 11 sat at 180+ with dropouts, I would treat this as a faulty sensor path first, not a fitness or zone issue. One unpair/reset + recalibration attempt is fine as a last sanity check, but if it still does this I would push the warranty/se

TrainingPeaks is not supported by Balance 2.
We live in a very influenced world these days, and my Apple Watch was malfunctioning compared to my wife's… hers was even worse, and its GPS wasn't dual-band, so I thought about testing the Balance 2 and giving her my Series 10. Let's test it…

Apple Watch users how accurate is your pace or distance?
There’s a software element as well as hardware (GPS). If you think about running 400m around an athletics track, and the watch/phone is taking gps readings every n seconds, that’s like a series of dots around the track in an oval shape. Now if you draw a straight line through these you will measure
