"This route is unsupported on Apple Watch"
I just got an Apple Watch and have been trying to send some routes (which I've converted from tracks) to it... so far, every one I've tried has given me a "This route is unsupported on Apple Watch" message... does anyone know what kind of routes are (or are not) supported on Apple Watch.
I've tried both tracks which I originally recorded, and tracks that I've uploaded from GPX files.
Thanks!

Hello Zach, I’m having the same issue, iPhone 8, Apple Watch 8.4.2, photolafond@gmail.com

Hello all... Zach showed me a workaround that worked... sorry, should have posted it here earlier!
Here it is:
- In the iPhone app, open one of the routes you've had trouble with.
- Tap Edit > Edit Route and then tap "Save" without changing anything
After following those steps, are you able to send the route to your watch? -
I'm experiencing this issue on iOS 16 & WatchOS 9, however the "edit & save" workaround in the iOS app isn't working. Any suggestions? https://www.gaiagps.com/public/rQkkMSjnFOjQufnMdo96KeZm

Same here. Was working just fine previous 6 months but now I always get the same "route unsupported" error message when pressing "send to apple watch". Doesn't seem to matter if it is a long or short route. I also removed half the downloaded maps on the watch with no change. Also tried the Edit/Save as proposed in earlier thread. No luck there either. Frustrating... Running Watch ios9.2 and ios16.2 on iphone 12
