I got my retro Casio at the 3D Watch Shop, Singapore:

Very few simple watches provide a GPS display. They are either a smart 
watch with a fancy display and limited battery life, or a GPS fitness 
tracker, which doesn't display location. There are a few expensive 
aviator/military styles with GPS display, but I doubt that pilots or 
soldiers actually use these.

Perhaps an old school watch for telling the time and and a GPS unit, or 
smart phone, for location would be better?
