Receivers, in general, do transmit, but.....

GPS receivers are receivers, not transmitters. Therefore they cannot interfere with any other device.
As others have pointed out, radio receivers radiate some RF, typically at their intermediate frequency (IF).

But.... if you consider the size of the battery in your GPS watch, and how long the unit runs on that battery, it's pretty safe to assume that the amount of radiated power is miniscule.
