Users report that in situations where they leave their iPhone at home when going to work out, the smartwatch does not record the route traveled. The Activity app only displays the starting point of your workout on the map and nothing else.

In addition, some users have reported excessive power consumption for Apple Watch running watchOS 7 and iPhone running iOS 14. For smartwatches, users claim that disconnecting and re-pairing Apple Watch with a smartphone helps them solve battery and GPS problems. As a result, Apple itself suggested using this method for troubleshooting.

Among the possible problems that Apple Watch owners with the new OS may face, there is also a lack of heart rate information, display of inaccurate training information on the watch or smartphone, or on both devices, incorrect data on the environmental noise level, and rapid battery discharge.

In cases where breaking and re-pairing don’t fix the issue, Apple recommends backing up your iPhone and Apple Watch, resetting the devices to a factory state, and then restoring from a backup.
