Apple watch GPS

Hello, i recently bought apple watch 7, because i wanted to track my activities. Its my first apple watch. I have iphone se 2nd generation and i was wondering if theres a way to turn off gps on my phone, but still have it turned on my watch, so i can recieve gps data of my runs, because having it turned on, makes my phone battery drains a lot. Thanks!

If you have a GPS-only watch, it needs to be near your paired iPhone (with location services turned on) to track your run. I don't know of any way to do what you want.
