A Reddit user has conducted an experiment, while also mowing his lawn, to test the GPS accuracy of the Apple Watch Ultra.
Apple has boasted a lot about the GPS capabilities on the Ultra and a Reddit user suburbandad1999 went on to conduct a test through lawn mowing.
The high-end Apple Watch conjoins the capabilities of the L1 GPS with L5 GPS for precise location while being less power-hungry. If you are someone who likes to go on days-long hikes, the Apple Watch Ultra is one of the top wearables that you should consider before going on an expedition. In comparison to older models, the advanced signal processing on the Ultra will offer consistent signals, even in dense cities.
“It [my older Apple Watch Series 4] would even have me zip a couple doors down and shows about 1.4 extra miles of distance compared to the image on the right. Apple Watch Ultra shows every intricate row I did.”
MacDailyNews Take: For the first time ever in an Apple Watch, the precision dual-frequency GPS integrates both L1 and the latest frequency, L5, plus new positioning algorithms. Apple Watch Ultra delivers the most accurate GPS of any Apple Watch to date, providing users the most precise distance, pace, and route data for training, competing, and lawn mowing.

Now if I could only tell the watch to ignore steps and activity when using a riding mower. Been searching for years on how to do this, with no good answers.
Now for a hair cut test.
Simply fortuitous…in time for the Lawn Mowing Worlds… which, this Dec, includes Mow & Bag & Throw, GPS Design Mow and Blind Mow.
You missed a spot.
On a flat surface perhaps, but how does it perform when bungee jumping?
So does this mean that previous Apple Watches can inflate the distance of your workout by more than 100%?
Great, now the NSA knows exactly where I am…
