Yup my GPS watch does GLONASS. Have never tried GLONASS only, but GPS + GLONASS is a fair bit faster to lock on to.

Most smartphones do both now as well. iPhones got it starting with the 4S, and various Android devices support it. I believe it's a requirement to be able to sell them in Russia, but it benefits us all.
