Use Apple Watch For Your Kids
You can set up any Apple Watch with cellular for your child or family member, even if they don’t have their own iPhone. To do so, you must be the family organizer or parent/guardian in your Family Sharing group.
The iPhone you use to initially pair and set up the Apple Watch must be within normal Bluetooth range (about 33 feet or 10 meters) of the Apple Watch to manage settings and update the software. On watchOS 27, your child or family member must be part of your Family Sharing group and have a cellular-capable Apple Watch SE 3 or Apple Watch Series 9 or later. (Your child or family member’s watch doesn’t have to use the same cellular carrier as the iPhone you manage it with.)
