OPs particular watch (and many others, Garmin included) also supports Galileo, Glonass and Qzss. Same goes for smartphones. The term "GPS" these days is used for all kinds of satellite based positioning, not exclusively the American one.
And I think there's nothing wrong with a little spite in these times. I'd rather my money go to an european company than to an american one, even though some of that money goes to asia further down the supply chain (which it does for almost any electronics, no matter where the company is based)
But I agree your comment about EU production!
"Multiband GNSS" is what this is called.
