"Giving a child an Apple Watch can offer extra peace of mind and tools that promote independence in a controlled way. Apple's Family Setup feature makes it possible for a kid to use an Apple Watch without owning an iPhone, and the feature set has expanded thanks to recent watchOS updates. It supports communication controls, location tools, Schooltime limits and privacy protections that allow a parent or guardian to manage how the device is used throughout the day."
"The setup process begins with creating or signing in with a child's Apple ID. It continues with adding them to your Family Sharing group on an iPhone and pairing a compatible Apple Watch through the Apple Watch app. Once the watch is linked, you can adjust a range of parental controls that shape how the watch works at home, at school and when the child is out and about."
Family Setup allows a child to use a cellular Apple Watch without owning an iPhone and supports parental controls for communication, location, Schooltime and privacy protections. Setup starts by creating or signing in with a child's Apple ID and adding the child to a Family Sharing group on a parent's iPhone. A compatible cellular Apple Watch must be paired through the Apple Watch app and run a recent watchOS while the iPhone runs the latest iOS. Preowned watches require erasing via Settings > General > Reset before pairing. The child's Apple ID keeps messages, activity goals and device settings separate.
