Shopping for a new watch/monitor

So my wants in a fitness watch are a tad different than most. I've got a Fitbit Surge whose battery is near the end of it's life. There were enough fit and function issues that I won't be replacing it with another Fitbit.

I'd like a GPS watch that tracks my workout. This includes speed, elevation gain and loss, Max speed, and average. I also want to be able to download it and look at the maps of my adventure.

I'm an odd ball that doesn't want to carry my phone unless I'm pulling the baby trailer. So I want it to have standalone GPS, not utilizing the one on a phone.

I don't care for HR, step counting, or most of the other "smart" functions. They aren't a deal breaker but the more options I can turn off, the better.

I don't even care if it downloads online or just to my computer. I'm not an active member of those fitness stroke fest websites.

Really, it seems like I want the Strava phone app on my wrist, turned to private, with no phone.

10+ hours in GPS mode is a huge bonus.

It'll mostly get used on the bike but will see running, hiking, and cross country skiing. I'll also just wear it to tell time.

Does this exist?
