I am trying to dump my phone and be watch only as I only care about making a call and keeping a GPS location on my kids or myself during traffic commuting. None of us would have a phone on us. Why did they advertise this watch with GPS then?
When you are jogging, you don't want to bring your bulky phone, you want to leave it in the car and you could be miles away. So GPS on the watch makes sense. Same with wading though traffic. My Quartz can show my traffic without my cell phone on. If my cell dies, I would still have wanted to know where the traffic was on my watch, which I thought the GPS spec was how it would do this.
Unfortunately, Google still consider the Android Wear 2. So some apps still depends on the phone despite the fact you can install them on the watch. You definitely can still use the watch as a stand alone device for making calls and tracking. Though using google map would require the phone but for location tracking, it should be fine.
Ask them, why the watch cannot use GPS standalone with maps? It's probably because of battery life, but that's where the blame belongs not on ZTE.
Typically this involves unlock codes which are a series of numbers which can be entered into your mobile phone via the phone's keypad to remove the network restriction and allow the use of other domestic and foreign networks.

This is good to know that there may be a future options one day to unlock the GPS potential. However, for now what app does anyone recommend for tracking, as each one I try to install, "Ghosts" my ZTE watch as 'incompatible', but they will install just fine to phone e. Almost any tracking app that can pull the cellular and the GPS data should be able to use to tracking the device.
If you just want to know the location of the watch, I just log into my google's Find My Device to pin the location. I have yet to find one that have like realtime tracking or location sharing feature that is compatible with AW though. A word with the location via GPS though. From my experience with AW, since the unit is so small, the signal may not be the strongest. Also, as with any GPS devices, indoor reception is not going to work.

Even outdoor, sometimes, I have trouble getting the GPS to lock the location in a crowded area or that it could take a bit of time to do so or I need to reboot the watch. Furthermore, running GPS on for extensive time on the watch would quickly drain the battery on the watch since unlike phone the watch cannot pack such a big battery.
Something to consider if you are planning to use the watch as a tool to track your kid's location. Currently, Android Wear still depend on the phone for some heavier tasks. And I think part of the reason is related to the battery and hte processing power on the watch that just cannot compete against what the phone can do. It is still more like a companion device and the benefit I guess is that as long as you have the phone nearby, you would able to get the information without pulling it out or unlock it.
I use my watch as a stand alone gps tracker when I ride bicycles. I use the Strava app or Ghost Racer app. Works great! Can you hear me Google Maps?!!!!! And I get 6 hours of ride time running gps and cellular, so battery life is not an issue for me.
GPS signal is very strong and I've never had a signal drop while riding in the past 6 months, and I log about miles a week. I don't know if there is an App for tracking someone wearing the watch. Hello there. There may be a way if you know of a good GPS tracking app.

One of the leading Chinese smartphone makers, ZTE, is shutting down global operations in the face of crippling sanctions levied by the US government. ZTE is China's number-two smartphone maker, and as recently as last year it was the number-four smartphone vendor in the US. ZTE's business became untenable after a US government order banned American companies from exporting technology to the Chinese smartphone maker.
But last month the Trump administration accused ZTE of continuing to lie to the US government even after last year's guilty plea.
The company told the US government that the guilty executives had received letters of reprimand and had had their bonuses reduced. But the US now says that was a lie—many of the employees received full bonuses, and they didn't receive letters of reprimand until early —after the US government challenged ZTE on the issue. ZTE makes heavy use of Qualcomm chips for its smartphones and other products.
Even worse, the export ban included Google's suite of standard Android apps. While the Android operating system itself is open source, Google has maintained control over apps like Google Maps and, most importantly, the Play Store. Outside of China, it's difficult to sell an Android phone without access to Google's app store.
Now it appears that ZTE is on the verge of going out of business altogether.
