Watch setup question...

I want my daughter to have an Apple Watch with cellular to have a form of communication that’s more difficult to lose than a phone, but do I need to have a separate phone for her to use with watch, or can she piggy back off mine or wife’s?

The cellular Apple Watch shares the iPhone's phone number.


If you pair the Apple Watch with your iPhone, you child is going to get your phone calls, your text messages, you email, you contacts, etc...


The Apple Watch is an iPhone accessory.

Every apple watch needs it's OWN phone.You can pair more than one watch to the same phone but you can only use one watch at a time,not recommended.
