Galaxy Watch 4 location tracking

Hi, 

I bought my son Galaxy Watch 4 with own sim card. The watch has a multi sim connected to his Samsung A02 phone so it has the same number etc. He has a kids account from Google that is monitored by Google Family Link. I would like to track the location of his watch. The family link only shows location for the phone, not his watch.  Is there any way to track the location of his watch? (He has hobbies, boy scouts etc. where they are not allowed to have a smart phone with them).

I read a suggestion to use Smartthings app for this, but I couldnt find a way to link family members devices .

The only way I can think of is to add the watch to the find my phone. Then when you want to see him log into find my phone and it will tell you the location of the watch. Its a bit of a pain but the only way it will work. (That i know of)

Thanks. This actually works (sort of). I have to log in using his own Samsung account and that enables seeing his location. (which is very cumbersome since I first have to log out from my own account). 

It is a shame as before he had a kids smartwatch that shared real time location in its own app. We changed to Samsung after he forgot for the third time to take off his watch when going swimming (Samsung is waterproof, kids watch was not).

Not accepting as a solution yet as someone might have a better solution for this...
