The GPS would not be for navigation. Like Garmin, it would be route recording for mapping and more accurate record of distance and speed. If you don't workout and you don't track your workouts then it will not be a handy feature for you.
Easy now, do you not understand Ive's paradigm that slimness and style trumps functionality and performance for all igadgets.Most computing will be done on an Apple watch soon since Apple does not make computers anymore.
Tracking outside/physical activity more accurately without a phone. I know you can train the Apple Watch to estimate distance well without also having your iPhone but it works best on a pre-set route. A built-in GPS would allow you to run/bike/hike wherever and have the distance and path tracked accurately.I'm just curious what is the point of GPS in a watch?

I workout. I just don't need some device to tell me that i ran. I know this on my own. Route recording? How is that benefiting your health?

If the next one has GPS and Cellular capabilities I'll be on the preorder list!!
I'd like it to make it easy for me to go without my phone all the time. I hate being attached to my iPhone 24/7. it's just sitting there in my pocket all the time making it look like I'm happy to see people.A solution in search of a problem? There's already standalone watch devices for these purposes. It would only serve to unify and replace, making it more utilitarian than it already is. I think everyone's goal is to be able to accomplish more whilest carrying fewer items.

Cause the basics of training, if you take it seriously is time v distance.
You will find come the Olympic , distance and time a major factors to winning gold.
good quality fitness apps require your distance as a variable . The more accurate the better.
Nearly fifteen months after the Apple Watch launched in the U.S. and eight other countries on April 24, 2015, new data shows that sales of the device have yet to experience an overly precipitous decline so far this year.
Apple Watch sales have remained steady throughout the first half of 2016
UBS forecasts that Apple Watch sales will rise to 2 million in the September quarter, contributing to a total of 10.35 million units in the 2016 fiscal year. If those estimates are accurate, that would make Apple Watch the most popular smartwatch for the second consecutive year
So you don't workout. Glad we made that known.
Route recording benefits you by telling you the distance you travelled, the speed you travelled, peaks and lulls in speed, heart rate analysis to help you through certain segments of your path to assist you in correcting them so you can go further, go faster, and do so while remaining healthier -- running just to run without any understanding of what your body is going through can have the opposite results, strain on the heart and muscles. The analysis also delves deeper, using altitude measurements to help show you where things went wrong, where things went right and how to correct things or avoid them.
Some apps have users that drop routes in, and it's an open challenge on their times - running or biking. A great way to learn new routes or offer you new challenges beyond your once-around-the-block routines. Some offer challenges and goals just to log a certain amount of miles or hours in a time frame. Some, like Strava, track your form -- a lot of data is stuff this very watch can pull all by itself... if it only had GPS.
Some people like competitions... some people like being offered challenges.
And these are based on speculation.
Tim Cook has never revealed sales figures, supposedly for competitive reasons.
We all know the real reason.
Sounds like a solution in search of a problem.
I don't obsess about useless things is what you wanted to say.
Still you don't need any sort of tracking for that. This is just OCD about record keeping and lets leave olympic in a separate box shall we. I run every other day and never same path twice without any watches.
I like having the data (I'm a scientist, which has something to do with it too). With GPS I know where and how far I ran (I live near woods with a number of trails and don't always run the same route), how fast I was at different segments of a run, and so forth. It is really helpful when I want to run, bike, or walk a particular distance - I can just go and not have to plan route before. This makes things more interesting. Maybe it's just my short attention span.And the benefits of that are?
I was able to return my Apple Watch for a full refund after 11 months of ownership. It will go down as one of my happiest days of 2016.
