Hello!

Apple says that Apple Watch Ultra 2 has the most accurate GPS in a sports watch. Is it true and how can we use this watch for GPS SpeedSurfing "green" icon sessions?

Hi all, I came here to post the exact same question.  The Ultra 2 uses multiple gps readings, like the other ratified devices.  
 

any reason it wouldn't or couldn't be formalised?

cheers, Steve 

With the great diversity of apple watches and phones its crucial to receive the device type information, untill now the current apps like Hoolan , Surfr. and Waterspeeds have not been providing this (despite our requests) so every session posted with these apps are regarded as a standard session not matching the requirements for the highest certification (green icon on our rankings). Both the Ultra and Ultra Watch 2 are technically ready to be approved for the green icon , the only thing needed is the device specific info provided by the app developers.

Hoolan and Surfr seems to be jumpers apps. I hope waterspeed will do it. Please :)

Waterspeed confirmed in a support email to me today that it's on their backlog and they are looking to progress it!! 

Such a great app, this would be fantastic. 

Waterspeed will have it enabled in the next software release due in a couple of days.  Support team confirmed today.  Fantastic turn around 

@all, we just received a new build from Waterspeed enabling devices specific information, we will integrate this asap.
