Not only for the status of GPS routes, the issues listed on the official support page also include health data such as heart rate and activity being unable to be read normally, noise/headphone volume information being lost, and incorrect health data storage usage on the watch. On the iPhone side, there are sports/health applications that cannot be started, storage space data is incorrect, and the watch or mobile phone encounters abnormal power consumption. Apple officially recommends that if you encounter more than 2 problems on the list, you can unpair your iPhone and Apple Watch and backup them, then reset them to factory settings and then restore the device through the backup — For detailed step-by-step instructions, please refer to the official page。
I mean, this is indeed a big project. However, for friends who often use iPhone with Apple Watch for sports assistance and really need to restore related functions as soon as possible, then you can really consider this emergency plan.
