      Hello,

      I wanted to ask if anyone else has experienced this issue. I usually swim in a pool, and lately, I’ve noticed that my distance seems to get stuck at 250m or 375m. Occasionally, it will reach 400m, but then after another lap, it drops back down to 375m. I expect my distance to keep increasing, but instead, it’s going down.

      In tight spaces, the GPS signal tends to become erratic and disorganized.

        @unicorn_VE I don’t own SV anymore but never had an issue while swimming in the pool like you described, have you tried soft reseting your watch by pressing upper button for 12 secs until it reboots?

          @herlas Hi herlas, I did restart and reboot but still the same.
          Hopefully any admin will see my post and help for any fix.

            @unicorn_VE where do you get the GPS data from?
            If you select pool swimming, the GPS should not be enabled…

            t6, S6, Elementum Terra, Ambit 3 Sapphire, Spartan Ultra Copper, Traverse Alpha, S7 Graphite LE, S9B Ambassador, S9P Granite Blue Titanium, S9PP Titanium Sand, Vertical All Black, Race Titanium Charcoal,
