Can I Leave My iPhone Off at Home and Only Use My Apple Watch Without Sharing My Location?

Nope, as long as you haven't shared your location from your Apple Watch, no one will be able to track you while you're out. If you shared your location from your iPhone, people might see that it's at home, but they won't see where your watch is. If you're really concerned, just turn off location sharing altogether!

It really hinges on the device settings for location sharing. Make sure to check which device is set to share your location in your Privacy settings. Also, if you use Family Sharing or a common Apple ID, your family members might still be able to see your watch's location through the Find My app if that's turned on.

Be cautious with the Find My network! While normally you can't be tracked if your devices are off, there's a slim chance you might show up if you're near other devices. Just remember that this only works if your watch is set to lost mode. Otherwise, if your iPhone is off, you'll just show as not found!

Just a heads up: your Apple Watch's location tracking will only function if it's a cellular model. If your iPhone is off, anyone trying to see your location shared through it will just get a 'No Location Found' message.
