If i take my apple watch w/ gps + cellular OFF my wrist and take my phone with me what location will be shared in find my friends?
The apple watch correct?..... so now what happens with the iphone location? Is its still being shared?
So if someone wants to fake a location is as easy as only take i watch off leave it in a location and take the iphone with him/her.
Is this correct?
Use Find My Friends on multiple devices
You can use Find My Friends on any iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, or Apple Watch that you own. However, only one iOS device and any paired cellular Apple Watch can send your location to your followers. You can choose which one to use in Find My Friends:
This choice only appears when you're currently signed in to Find My Friends on multiple devices.
So if you haven’t he device sharing your location as your Watch and take it off, it’ll still share the Watches location. It wont switch to your iPhone.

Thanks connorfromgrinnell, just to clarify something; so if i leave my apple watch at home and leave with my cellphone with me then the location that will be shared in Find my Friends is that Im in home while im away with the iphone correct?
How does Find my friends know which location to send if im not wearing my watch?
So you are saying that you have Find My Friends configured on your iPhone to show your location from your Watch? Find My Friends on my iPhone does not provide me the ability to configure it that way. It only allows to share my location from my iPhone, and if you look at those settings, it shows the watch listed there too. There is no configuration settings for Find My Friends on the watch.
When you have both Apple watch w Cellular + Iphone and you are out of range between both devices the location that will be shared with your friends in the Find my Friends App will be the Apple Watch instead of the Iphone as long as the watch is in yours or someone else's wrist.
So if you want to trick your followers and still recieve/make calls is as simple of just asking someone to wear your watch in X place (your house or office) while you take your phone with you, this way your followers will see you in X place while you really are in another.
