Need phone to workout

I’m planning on going on a walk and I was wondering if I need my phone near my Apple Watch (Series 5) to successfully track my outdoor walk workout if my watch only has GPS.

The series 5 watch uses it's onboard GPS to track your walk and then when your phone is in bluetooth range the data is uploaded to the phone.

You can leave your phone at home.
