Are GPS watches all rubbish for tracking?

This year DS has started going out with his friends, to the park and the like, and walking to and from school.

We got him a watch with a phone function GPS so I can check where he is but the GPS function is dreadful. Unless he's outside it won't pick him up at all and says he's in random places in about 20 mile radius of where he actually is.

The watch wasn't that expensive, but I'm wondering if it's worth buying a better one for the tracking feature as this does worry me a bit. I don't want to replace it though to find out they are all as bad as one another.

Does anyone have something similar that actually seems to work?
