GPS CPE status consistently showing expired status...

Anyone having issues getting the GPS CPE info on their watch to stay current. Garmin doc states using Garmin Express or Garmin Connect to sync the watch will make the CPE info status current - that does not work consistently for me even though I am doing multiple syncs and both app indicate a success status, the CPE status remains expired.

The CPE status showing expired will occur if the watch has not been synced through the Garmin Golf app from a period of a few days, or weeks since the last sync.

If the Golf app is closed out on your phone…

Yes, ultimate impact is it's totally random how long it takes for the watch to sync with the GPS signal I've done both golf and non-golf activities where the watch doesn't sync at all and I've finished the activity. If Garmin doesn't know what the underlying cause is then just say so.

I have a S62, haven’t used it since October. Have the same issue, CPE Expired. Updated the software to version 5.0, same issue, CPE Expired. Has anyone tried to factory reset their watch to try and resolve this issue? Curious to know as that will be my next move.

Yes and factory reset does not work. I have tried several times and then had to set up the sensors again. Not hard but time consuming and to end up being in the same EXPIRED perpetual state. It is unfortunate that Garmin does not seem to care. Numerous varied fixes that would have a profound effects to functionality is just not going to happen. I find it unconscionable that this company doesn't fix this or at least give a legitimate reason why.
