It could have been the fault of the App, but it could have been other factors as well. It depends on where one is to how accurate the info will be, as GPS relies on satellites so the app will try and work with the info it is getting. Also if one is in a city the buildings can effect how much

Hi, So, after playing with this for a while, I've determined that the process is not particularly accessible, nor intuitive, but doable with VO. Yes, the devices do show up on your Apple Watch, but when you double-tap them prior to proper pairing, the Remote app on the Watch is unresponsive.
