What I am after is to live track a watch that is not near my phone. Most smart watches won't allow that, so I'm basically asking for recommendations of watches that have their own GPS and data connection independent of a phone, though I've given more detail to be clear about what I'm trying to achieve.
Most mainstream smartwatches do let you use an eSIM for data and phone calls. I'm not sure about the tracking aspect though. I don't know if the Home Assistant WearOS app transmits location data or not.
