GPS CPE status consistently showing expired status...

Watch SW Version 5.00, GPS Version 6.60 Americas Course 7.50

Still consistently CPE expired and I sync with the Phone Golf App after each round - I play 2 or 3 9 Hole rounds most weeks.

Having the same issue - satellites not being located, fully synced to Garmin App and CPE info always expired. Watch is only 10 months old! Software all fully updated, please update me on what I can do to resolve this issue. 

Unfortuately nothing, for me it is just about a year from being reported. I am on my 3rd S62, #2 was sent in so Garmin could do a tear down and I still have had no follow up. I don't think this thread is even being monitored anymore. Most threads of software problems just keep building with no resolutions unless user error. It is crazy to think that Garmin, synonymous with GPS would have this issue and do NOTHING about it.

Have you guys ever found a solution to this problem? I’m in the exact same position. I'm fully up to date, but my CPE status is always expired. I’m on my third S62. The first two Garmin sent me refurbs, but the latest is brand new, yet I have the same issue. I wonder if it has something to do with where I live (Surrey, UK). It is useless as a golf watch if the GPS is broken. 

On my 3rd S62 as well and issue still has not been corrected on this side of the Pond, it's been over a year. I feels like once they make a new model they give up on the previous ones. Watch still works but is slowed down, I guess this is acceptable to Garmin. 

The CPE showing expired is not an indication that the GPS is broken on your device...it simply means that the watch is not current on satellite prediction data, and the file needs updated through the sync to the Garmin Golf app. 

Please contact Garmin Support if the watch is not locating nearby courses when you are outside with the sky directly above when starting a golf activity on the watch. If you are testing this indoors...or are not opening the Garmin Golf app long enough to allow the sync to complete...then please do so by opening the app > Tapping the Profile tab > Select My devices > Then tap the circular arrows icon next to the name of your watch. Allow the watch to sync prior to closing out of the app, and ensure location permissions for the Golf app are set to Always > Also allow "Precise Location" to the Golf app as well. 

It’s astonishing that after all this time, Garmin is still suggesting the exact tired solutions already mentioned—and proven ineffective—within this thread. Suggesting we “sync the watch properly” as a resolution is redundant and dismissive, especially when many of us have explicitly stated we’ve tried every possible method outlined in your documentation multiple times.

If this were indeed a simple syncing issue, Garmin wouldn’t have replaced three of my watches (and others) without hesitation. Clearly, there’s an underlying issue here that Garmin is either unwilling or unable to address, and the hope seems to be that customers simply give up and accept subpar functionality.

This level of support from a brand synonymous with GPS technology is disappointing, to say the least. It’s time to stop recycling generic advice and start addressing the root cause of the problem.
