Call Apple Watch Using FaceTime Audio

I want to connect a cellular Apple Watch to my sons iPad. I bought the Apple Watch and tied to my daughters cell number. But I really want to use the watch to get a hold of my son who does not have a phone number yet. Can I reset the Apple Watch and setup to his Apple account and be able to call him over cellular? Meaning leave his iPad in our home connected to cellular and have it ring his watch when he is out of the house???

Lots of things first. To use Apple Watch, it MUST be paired to an iPhone. An iPad will not work.


Secondly, the iPhone and Apple Watch will share the same Apple ID and phone number. So things like text messages, emails, etc... will all go to the person wearing the Watch and be visible by that person.


Thirdly, a cell number for the Apple Watch is impossible unless you bought an Apple Watch with GPS+Cellular.
