[Advice] GPS watch for dementia person (alien.top)

My partners father has dementia and she asked me, knowing that I love watches, if I knew about a simple gps tracker watch so they can keep track of him in case he wanders off and gets lost.

I am into watches not gps watches so I have no clue what to search for.

Has to be simple I guess, that can connect to their phone so they can keep an eye on him.

Cheap, in case he loses it.

Thank you all….

Just in case you have not thought about it: depending on the country you are living in this might be illegal. Even with dementia a person has the right not to be tracked if he or she is not under legal support by a caregiver.

This aside: Maybe the Alzheimer‘s Association(https://www.alz.org/help-support/caregiving/safety/technology-101) can give you valuable advise of which trackers work best.
