Apple Watch Ultra, Watch Series 8, Watch SE 2 can use own GPS now, read here
Even when connected to an iPhone, the Apple Watch Ultra, Watch Series 8, and Watch SE 2 now have their own GPS.

It says that the Apple Watch Ultra, Watch Series 8, and Watch SE 2 can now use the GPS built into the smartwatches even when the paired iPhone is close by. This makes it easier to track your location during workouts, especially Outdoor Walk or Outdoor Run workouts, which rely heavily on GPS for measuring distance and mapping.
All Apple Watch models with GPS would get GPS data from the iPhone when it was nearby. This was done to save power and make the most of the battery. This is still true for older Apple Watch models with GPS, since the changes only affect the three newest models of Apple's popular smartwatches.
All Apple Watch models from Series 2 on have built-in GPS, so if the Apple Watch and iPhone are separated during a workout and the location needs to be tracked, the GPS will be used.
The price of the Apple Watch Series 8 with GPS is Rs 31,800. The GPS version of the Watch SE 2 or SE (2022) is made of aluminium and costs about Rs 19,800. The cellular version costs about Rs 23,800. The Watch Ultra will cost you Rs 63,700.
