The straight line is because it lost signal and got it back later. Your phone will always be better in a city as it is using cell towers to triangulate your position while the watch is having it s signal constantly blocked by the buildings. GPS watches usually struggle in cities and an old, cheap one like the TT will be especially so as it is old hardware. Try a factory reset if it continues and make sure you have a strong GPS lock before you start (get the lock and wait a few minutes). If it continues it could be that the GPS chip is failing. At that point, it is time for a new watch, there are plenty of brands out there with better feature sets for less money these days (TT Sports went out of business over 2.5 years ago).6
