The 2022 Apple Watch models including the Apple Watch Series 8, Apple Watch SE (2022) and the Apple Watch Ultra all use their own GPS systems.
When the Apple Watch was first released, it relied on a nearby Apple Watch for processing. But this changed with the release of the Apple Watch Series 3 back in 2017. The first Apple Watch to offer cellular connectivity which allowed the Apple Watch to make calls without an iPhone present. The year before, in 2016, the Apple Watch Series 2 added its own GPS system although the timepiece deferred to the GPS on a nearby iPhone whenever possible.
But this has changed in the three new Apple Watch models released in 2022. That would be the Apple Watch Series 8, Apple Watch SE , and the Apple Watch Ultra. In the support document titledwhich was published earlier this month, Apple wrote,"Apple Watch Ultra, Series 8, and SE use the built-in Apple Watch GPS even when your iPhone is nearby. To preserve battery life, older Apple Watch models use the GPS from your iPhone when available.
It should also be noted that the Apple Watch Ultra and the iPhone 14 line use dual-band GPS frequency. They are the firstdevices to be so equipped. The second band provides more accurate location data in large cities. While a single-frequency GPS delivers accuracy to 5 meters , dual-frequency GPS measures its accuracy in centimeters.
So yeah, the Apple Watch has come a long way from being dependent on the iPhone to become independent enough to live its own best life.Get the most important news, reviews and deals in mobile tech delivered straight to your inbox
