Metric units have many advantages over Imperial units but precision and accuracy are not amongst them. Precision and accuracy depends on the individual units in use.
For example,
A kilometre is more accurate than a mile,
A furlong is more accurate than a kilometre,
A metre is more accurate than a kilometre,
A yard is more accurate than a metre,
A foot is more accurate than a metre,
An inch is more accurate than a foot,
A centimetre is more accurate than an inch,
A thou is more accurate than a centimetre,
and so on, and on.
