Friends seeing my location tracked by Apple Watch GPS

Hello,

I would like to go on long runs in the mountains with my watch only. If I have the Apple Watch SE without cellular model, will my friends be able to see my location on my run when the watch does not connect to WIFI or my i-phone nearby?

Thank you!

Can people in Find My see my location if my Apple Watch Series 8 doesn't have access to WiFi or data? I want to take my Apple Watch Series 8 (GPS) surfing, and I won't have my phone on me. I want my wife to see my location. Does my Apple Watch work like an AirTag where she could see my location despite not being connected to my data plan or WiFi?
