Hi, does anybody know if the newer sports watch models have better GPS accuracy etc ? My current clock Garmin Forerunner 910XT takes quite some time to locate GPS position (outdoors), and sometime looses signal during woods. PS, loosing signal in low coverage areas as thick woods and steep valleys are expected, but will new sports watches as the Fenix 5 plus handle these situations better, or is GPS reception the same all over?
Thanks
I'd say it's better than older devices. A caveat to that is that I stopped using auto-pause years ago because I quickly got annoyed with the watch stopping when the signal got degraded enough to trigger…
I have the following watches and have worn them all recently at once to compare tracks...
Polar V800 - the best tracks of all, but not always perfect.
Fenix 3HR - vastly improved over time. Good enough…
Now I have F5+ and Forerunner 910XT, but kept my F3HR for a while just to compare all these 3.
My findings are exactly the same, just consider 910XT as Polar V800.
I just contribute to this thread to…
