Withings watches don’t seem to have a GPS radio, though. The advertised “connected GPS” means GPS date pulled over Bluetooth from your smartphone, at which point it’s becomes unclear which role the watch is playing here in the first place.

This is the case for many "hybrid" smart watches including the parents Fossil Machine. I believe the true feature is the display of distance travelled on the watch reported by the phone and app.
