By all means, if it makes you feel good that your couple hundred dollar GPS watch works better than my $30 phone, feel free to continue mentioning that. I'll fully admit that it is not a top of the line piece of electronics. That said, many people use phones as their tracking device, and I have little doubt that any GPS or software controlling it in a phone is prone to errors from time to time.
You told us consumer-level GPS can't provide any realistic measure of accuracy. I demonstrated that it's not true. That's all. No need to get so offended, we're just talking about how stuff works here.
