1. Yes - Apple Watch still offers various features when it is temporarily away from the iPhone. These include using the Workout app (including continuous heart rate measurement) and continuing to use the Activity app.

2. Apple Watch does not have built-in GPS capabilities, so cannot record GPS data when it is used out of range of the paired iPhone. However, when the iPhone is also taken along (with Location Services enabled) during outdoor workouts, as long as the watch also remains connected to the iPhone via Bluetooth, it can access GPS data from the iPhone for use when estimating results including distance and pace.
