better than nothing

I disagree. I'd much rather have a lower coverage with high quality tests than high coverage with dubious tests.

If your tests are repetitive, you're probably writing your tests wrong, or at least focusing on the wrong logic to test. Unit tests should prove the correctness of business logic and calculations. If there's no significant business logic, there's little priority for writing a test.
