One of the tricks is apparently to start recording 30 seconds before you start running, then hit pause immediately. Because the activity has started it’ll try and get a proper GPS position, so when you unpause and start running a bit after then it’ll be accurate, rather than it spending the first bit of your actual run acquiring a lock
..this works well for me - thank you again for the tip ✌️
The last two times I did basically start (and then immediately pause) the run on the watch when I put on my shoes, then left the house and "resumed" the run when I was actually on the sidewalk, ready to go - and tracking has been pretty much spot on 👍This also seems to have solved the mis-calculated pace / splits as a side-effect 🙂

You'll struggle to get a GPS lock indoors as the signal strength isn't strong enough to work through walls/roofs. Always try and get a lock outside.
Most GPS watches also have a manifest file regularly updated, which gives them the approximate position of GPS satellites, so they can get a fix quicker. So make sure you're syncing it with your phone regularly.
