At the recent conference in San Francisco on September 7, 2016, Apple was represented not only new iPhone And headphones Airpods. Among other things, another model of popular athletes "Smart Watches" Apple Watch Series 2 with a GPS module. The latter have not been updated for two years.

If you want to buy IWatch 2, we recommend moving on the specified link, which shows a huge selection of shops and models of smart watches.

Why do you need GPS in hours?

While about the new iPhone 7 has long been known for unique characteristics, there is almost nothing clear about the iwatch device and did not communicate. But it is already clear that new model It has the following features:

  1. High-quality water protection function, the gadget will even immerse the water.
  2. The brightness of the screen is much higher (the configuration manual is available at the specified link).
  3. A more upgraded chipset is used, which half increased speed, improved graphics.
  4. Built in Apple Watch Series 2 GPS module.

On the latter it is worth stopping in more detail.

Is there a GPS in Apple Watch?

Why is iwatch GPS module?

The smart watches of the second series will most likely become a popular device among athletes. Since it turns on so unique for smart hours only when exercises in the fresh air. For example, when walking around or run such a gadget will help track your indicators without use iPhone. Man is engaged in sports, and the watch is building a track. The display will not only indicate the distance and speed of movement, but also an athlete pulse.

Small nuance

True, when you first turn on Apple Watch Series 2, the GPS module is not before that is activated, it may turn out that the device is not entirely correct. When you start the workout mode, it is not always first to build the right path. The first time the path is most often:

  • rudely carried out;
  • with big inconsistencies map.

The reasons for this are two:

  • no calibration;
  • inaccuracies of embedded cards (for example, Yandex.Navigator and Yandex.Maps).


The second correct will not work, but the first problem is completely solved. GPS Apple Watch 2 calibration will be required. To perform it, it is necessary:

  • go to the developer's website;
  • follow the instructions.

After the operation, the construction of the track occurs with maximum accuracy, even if available:

  • sophisticated path;
  • visit stores or other buildings.


Autonomy of work with a disconnected GPS

The manufacturer indicates the operation time of 18 hours. But everyone is clear that the indicator is relative. The duration of operation without recharging is completely dependent on the intensity of use. If you disable GPS in Apple Watch Series 2 (more precisely, you cannot use the functions where the module is needed), the device will endure more time without recharging.
Accordingly, the less actively use new gadget features, the longer the device works offline.

Apple Watch Series 2 module

How to disable GPS module

You should click on the bottom edge of the clock display and hold for a while. After this action will open an hour control. Next, you need to swipe up and click on the burning GPS icon. When the character darkens - the module will turn off.

Not included on Apple Watch Series 2 GPS Module

If there are problems with the inclusion of the navigation module, you should try to restart the device. If the module does not work after that, it is recommended to clean the device through a smartphone. As a last resort, delete and put the program again.

Instead of imprisonment

In conclusion, I would like to note that almost all innovations in the IWATCH clock are tied to fitness opportunities. Most likely, people who are not close to sports are not worth a hurry to change old version Smart watches on just released gadget. But the athletes will appreciate the implementation of the GPS module into the device. Probably, only they do not have a question, why GPS in Apple Watch 2Since the new option has been added for them.

Starting from the second generation, the "smart" clock Apple Watch received an enlarged battery, noticeably extended the time of the gadget. However, some users are not enough, and they want to extend even more autonomous work hours.

It is logical to assume that it is necessary to disable such energy-intensive functions as GPS navigation. But how to turn off GPS in the clock settings and can it be done at all?

Is it possible to disable GPS on the Apple Watch Series 2 and 3?

In short, then no, the GPS shutdown options in apple settings Watch is not provided. The fact is that the clocks themselves include and disconnect this function depending on the situation..

Of course, the Apple understand how demanding in terms of power consumption can be a GPS chip, so the clock uses it only in certain cases.

For example, if you have an iPhone user with geolocation turned on, the clock will receive data on location and movements from it, thereby saving the charge. Many users mistakenly think that if you turn off geolocation on the iPhone, it will turn off on the clock, but in fact it has a direct opposite effect.

In addition, when the workout mode is enabled, GPS will be used exclusively when moving outdoor area. Thus, when you run, as well as swimming in the sea or lake, the definition of the location will be included, however, in the case of a training in the gym or the pool, it is turned off.

In other words, Apple Watch simply remembers GPS data obtained from iPhone during the last synchronization session. Naturally, you start training, for example, by running, leaving a smartphone at home or in the car, and after the workout is completed, when you again find yourself next to your smartphone, Apple Watch is automatically synchronized with the iPhone, and all the last workout data, including the route of movement, will be available. In the appendix "Activity" (in the "Training" tab.

If GPS is required for third-party applicationsIt will be activated only for the time of direct work to determine the location.

In case you notice incorrect work GPS on Apple Watch (not exactly tracks location or calculates distances), then it is necessary to produce a smart clock calibration procedure.

At the same time, Apple does not position Apple Watch as a clock with improved autonomous time. This is due not only to a brighter display, but also the fact that the time of work directly depends on the lifestyle of the user. After all, people often run in open areas or floating on open reservoirs may not notice a significant difference.

For 2017, Apple Watch Series 2 is the most popular smart watches in the world. They are some of the most functional as well as the most expressive design. Developers willingly write applications for them, so the clock can not only show time and notify you about messages, but also help in business, in sports, shopping, and save money.

Now there are two generations of smart clocks Apple Watch (Series 1 and Series 2), which are not so different with each other.
