> Disabling wifi on the Apple Watch, Bluetooth on iPhone and combinations of those, to disconnect the watch from iPhone before starting the run

Unfortunately, disabling wifi will absolutely wreck havok with getting a quick, precise lock on GPS. Also, the author didn't specify if they have a cellular model or not, which is also a factor.

More importantly, this really is an issue for Apple to fix - let people know what the GPS status is!

IMHO: the apple watch is the BEST casual fitness device. But, if you compete or are training in any serious way, it falls flat almost immediately.
