      @matthinsh Make sure under Settings/About on the watch you have a current AGPS file. It sounds as if the AGPS is not there or is old.

        @Brad_Olwin yeah I do that, all up to date. I think it’s a HW problem, all good thanks πŸ™‚

          I have a similar issue. Updates on the Assisted GPS, but any time I am within the vicinity of a building, or not completely outdoors, I am lucky if I manage to get GPS acquisition at all. Is this a known issue? I only received the watch in December 2023, but at present, my 5 year old Garmin Forerunner 235 is more effective in gaining a GPS lock. It is extremely frustrating.

            When you connect to the gps, are you moving? I can get the gps quickly when I stop moving.

                Nice, I have the same. Hope it will be fixed in the next update.

                      If everything is checked on software side, then it could be hardware, and then, only suunto support could help.
                      GPS is also hardware linked.
