Which smartwatches offer built-in GPS capabilities?

Question

Accepted Answer

Pebble, Magellan Echo, Agent, Kreyos Meteor, and MotoActv differ on GPS, with only Kreyos Meteor and MotoActv described as having GPS capabilities
The available details indicate that the Kreyos Meteor can track using the phone’s GPS or via its own sensors, while the MotoActv contains GPS. The Pebble does not feature built-in GPS, and the Magellan Echo’s watch functions rely on its smartphone via Bluetooth Smart rather than describing any built-in GPS in the watch itself.
Pebble lacks built-in GPS and relies on a phone
The Pebble connects to Apple and Android phones via Bluetooth and shows incoming calls, texts, and emails, along with fitness app integration for Runkeeper. Its stated downside is that it does not feature GPS, so you still need to rely on your phone. It is priced at US$150 and had shipping scheduled for that summer.
Kreyos Meteor can use phone GPS and also tracks running stats with built-in sensors
The Kreyos Meteor is described as tracking running statistics through its built-in accelerometer and gyroscope, or via the phone’s GPS. It also syncs with devices such as those by Withings and Garmin to track heart rate and weight. The watch was expected to be priced at US$130, with shipping set for November.
MotoActv contains GPS alongside accelerometer tracking
MotoActv is described as a fitness gadget that can track runs and heart-rate data when connected to a chest strap. It contains GPS and an accelerometer, and it includes an MP3 player that stores 4,000 tunes for playback via Bluetooth headphones. A “sport edition” with an 8-GB tracker and additional sensors was listed at US$299.
Magellan Echo and Agent are not described as having built-in GPS in the provided details
The Magellan Echo is a smartphone-linked watch display that shows fitness data, notifications, achievements, and metrics like elapsed time and distance at a glance through Bluetooth Smart. The information provided does not state that the watch has built-in GPS. The Agent is described with two-way communication to smartphones, a built-in 3-axis accelerometer, and an integrated running app, but no built-in GPS capability is specified.
