Ok, so does this really mean the smartwatch should not move for four hours?

One could imagine cheap turn-key devices that self locate and provide an accurate beacon for real time triangulation.
Not cheap.
Theres also services like this: https://www.septentrio.com/en/learn-more/insights/gnss-corre... that offer correction information.
I expect starlink to eat that industry shortly. Not sure how they'll make the strategic steps though. Mandatory location data for cell phones to talk with star-link? Wait for whatever satellite septentrio uses to EOL and offer a deal to use star-link instead?
it gets worse- the overseeing professor mentioned here, and in the video, is the author of the paper linked in the description- from 2018. (https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s00190-018-1192-5)
See: https://www.u-blox.com/en/technologies/high-precision-positi... for information thats not one guy stroking his... ego.
Also, PPP-RTK is another keyword.
> No geodetic station is involved in this study, as one of the smartwatches serves as the base station.
In-home centimetre-level smartwatch positioning using a Nest as RTK base station could allow for some neat applications!
