Watch series 3 GPS working very slowly/intermit...

I am having an issue with the GPS on the apple watch is working very slowly/intermittently when disconnected from the phone.  It takes along time to find the satellites and sometimes doesn't (location arrow services crossed out) so is actually unusable in standalone mode. Any ideas?

Make an appointment at the Apple Genius Bar for service. If you need to find an Apple Store - Find a Store - Apple.

Hi

Functions that are available on your Apple Watch when it is away from your iPhone depend on various factors including:

• Your Apple Watch model - Series 3 (GPS) vs Series 3 (GPS + Cellular):
  • Apple Watch - Compare - Apple
• The features of your carrier service plan:
  • Apple Watch - Carriers - Apple
• The type of connectivity that is available to your Apple Watch at the time.

Features and requirements that apply under various circumstances are detailed here:

• How to use your Apple Watch without your iPhone nearby - Apple Support

If GPS / Location Services is not performing as expected on your Apple Watch, then the following steps may help:

• If you have not yet done so, update your iPhone and Apple Watch to the latest software, starting with your iPhone:
  • Update the iOS on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
  • Update your Apple Watch - Apple Support

• On your iPhone, go to: Settings > Privacy > Motion & Fitness - check that both Fitness Tracking and Health are enabled.

• On your iPhone, in the Watch app, go to: My Watch > Privacy - check that both Fitness Tracking and Heart Rate are enabled.

• On your iPhone, go to: Settings > Privacy > Location Services:
  • Check that Location Services (the main setting at the top) is turned on.
  • In the list of apps beneath:
    • Check that Apple Watch Workout, Apple Watch Faces are set to While Using.
    • Check that the settings for any other app (for example, Maps) are as desired.
      
  • If each setting is already enabled:
    • Try briefly turning off Location Services and then turning it back on again.
    • Try briefly changing the setting for any problematic app to Never and then back again.
  • Also enable options under System Services including Setting Time Zone, Motion Calibration & Distance, Wi-Fi Networking and Mobile Network Search.

• Close certain apps and restart both your iPhone and your Apple Watch:
  • Close the Watch app, Activity app, Health app and any other potentially problematic apps (if open) on your iPhone:
    • Double-click the Home button, then swipe up on each app preview to close the apps.
  • Turn both devices off together, then restart your iPhone first:
    • Restart your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
    • Restart your Apple Watch - Apple Support

• If the issue persists, then it may help to unpair and re-pair your Apple Watch:
  • The Watch app on your iPhone takes a backup of your watch automatically when unpairing via the app.
  • Initially choose to Restore from Backup during set up (most data and settings will be restored, with some exceptions, such as Apple Pay cards, passcode).
  • If the issue persists, consider instead unpairing and setting it up as a new watch.
  • Unpair your Apple Watch and iPhone - Apple Support
  • Set up your Apple Watch - Apple Support

If the issue then still persists and you are concerned about a potential defect with your Apple Watch, then I suggest that you contact Apple Support (remote diagnostics and/or mail-in service may be available, if required), make a Genius Bar reservation or visit an Apple Authorised Service Provider for assistance:

• US: Apple Watch Service Answer Center - Apple Support
• Elsewhere: Apple - Support

Thanks Jonathan I had tried a few of your suggestions but will work through the list

You're welcome!
