My kids Apple Watch Cellular hardly ever updating location when I use Find My

I specifically bought my kid an Apple Watch SE 2nd gen Cellular so he would not have to have a cell phone at his age. I wanted to communicate but also be able to know where he is. Everytime I look on Find My it shows his location but from hours ago. Sometimes it is from 6 hours ago. I try to refresh and it just spins and never updates. I live in a 5G area and calls and text to his watch work all the time. Why can't it update his location to me whenever I want. I already have made sure that sharing locations is on correctly. There are times his watch work but rarely do I get his current location. I feel I wasted a lot of money for nothing.

Same here! After few days I figured that if the watch is on power saving mode ( yellow battery percentage) then it updates only when the kid unlocks the watch by doing something. Keeping the battery on normal should solve the problem, but then it won’t last the entire day!

Soo disappointed!!!
