I found the same: four days in the high sierras backcountry with airplane mode on. Got home to find all my photos nicely geotagged. It seems apple has updated the relevant support article that an early poster on this thread referenced such that the article now teases that this is true ( Use Airplane Mode on your iOS device - Apple Support ):

If you have a device with iOS 8.2 or earlier, Airplane Mode will also turn off GPS.

Which implies that after 8.2, the GPS stays on unless you turn it off yourself.

Thanks for the follow up. Clarifies things nicely.

who are you ?

Thanks for your help Idris, the GPS is turned off on the new watch in airplane mode, but cheers anyway....!
