But the pinetime uses the phones navigation/gps. I am not sure what that would do?

It doesn't rely on phone navigation for starters :)

I find it to be especially useful for running, or really sports in general where it's not practical to carry a phone. Accelerometer step counting alone isn't very accurate. Having GNSS on the watch is very helpful in a lot of ways.

Ah, that explains it then. I have not run in 10 years and would not have thought of that.
