GPS issues while walking ONLY (Run/Cycle works)

Hi All,

- I have a consistent issue where my GPS while using the walk mode drops out sporadically (every 5 - 15 minutes it seems), while using walk mode only. It goes from Green "connected to GPS" to Yellow

- This has been tested in various locations, in the city, in the countryside etc.

- If I use my phone to track my walk at the same time, this has no issues

- I never have any GPS issues or dropouts while using run or cycle modes 5+ times a week so the watch GPS must be working fine

Anyone have any ideas why this is?

It makes my walks up to 40% shorter as it stops recording distance as the GPS and is extremely annoying to have to use my phone battery to track walks when I have a GPS watch.

Thank you in advance

Do you walk the same area you run? Also walking is harder for the GPS (standing still is the hardest)

Yep am walking in the same areas I am running in.

This has occured in multiple different areas including a beach area where there are no buildings to block signals etc. Others who were there had cheaper Garmin watches on walk mode that worked fine.

I shoukd've also added his problem started about 6m ago after 4 or so month of it being perfect. Really confusing!
