larkim Jul 2022 1:49pm, 11 Jul 2022 18,396 posts	0 larkim Unlikely to be a "satellite" thing in the sense that each satellite involved orbits every 12 hours or so, so it's a pretty fast moving constellation of satellites reconfiguring themselves all the time to provide the necessary range of signals. But if your watch doesn't know where it should be looking because the CPE file or similar isn't up to date then it will find it harder to lock which is presuambl what you're seeing.

Bazoaxe Jul 2022 6:42pm, 11 Jul 2022 23,095 posts	0 Bazoaxe Mine took longer than usual to locate satellites. It’s normally fine by the time I get to the end of my path. Today I went to put recycling in the bin got to my path. Down my street and halfway down the next street before it locked and I started running.
