Can I use the non-cellular version of the watch for tracking my runs
while leaving my phone at home?
Sì. Apple Watch Series 2 non ha bisogno di essere abbinato a un iPhone per utilizzare il tracciamento GPS perché è costruito a.
Da un MacWorld articolo su AWS2 e funzionalità GPS:
...loved how the Series 2 and iPhone intelligently passed off route
tracking duties. “Apple Watch just seems to know when it’s out of
communication distance from its paired iPhone, and it gets a GPS
signal without you telling it to. And if I do have my phone with me,
the Workout app will let the iPhone do the GPS because it’s the
bigger-batteried device.”
E da Runners World su la funzionalità GPS e la precisione:
The biggest update for the Apple Watch 2 is a new focus on fitness and
the integration of GPS into the watch itself. The first version
off-loaded that work to your phone, but not all runners like to carry
a phone when working out. Now they don’t have to. In our testing,
we’ve found the GPS accuracy to be on par with our sport-specific
watches
