Apple Watch uses the iPhone’s gps when the phone is close by.

This is no longer true for Series 8 and Ultra watches. What I’ve not found out is whether this true of any Apple Watch running watchOS 9 or just the latest models.
Watch will use the phones GPS because it has a bigger battery unless you separate them and then it will use it on
The point of the watch is not needing to bring you phone...
