How Do the Location Tracking Features Change for Different Apple Watch Models?
There aren’t many differences between the different watch models when it comes to location tracking. The only real differences are the satellite systems and compass. For instance, the Apple Watch 7 uses an additional satellite navigation system called BeiDou. This is in addition to the satellite systems on Series 3 and SE: GPS, GLONASS, Galileo, and QZSS. In addition, a compass feature is available on Apple Watch SE as well as Series 5 and later. This app can access limited location features even when Wi-Fi or cellular connectivity is unavailable.
