iPhone Pairing

Husband and I are wanting to buy an apple watch for his daughter and use her apple ID that is linked to our family sharing account, my question is: Her Mum has gotten her an iPhone that is using an apple id linked to HER family share, is there a way that she can sync her iPhone to the Apple watch with separate apple IDs?

My Sons Apple Watch is already in a family setup, he does not have a phone and I manage his Apple Watch through mine. I plan on giving him an iPhone, will his watch connect to his iPhone if he’s using the same Apple ID? my Son has an Apple Watch setup by me. He does not have a phone but I plan on giving him one. His phone will be connected to the same family account as his watch. Will they be linked together as if someone where to have an Apple Watch, iPhone, and still be in a family group using Apple?

cannot set up son's apple watch to family share, apple id is different from apple id already in family share I have an apple watch we purchased for our son, we have a phone number through Verizon, we have not been able to use it and set it up for my son so that I can track him. I can now call him and he can call me. But cannot assign him to family share since his apple watch apple id is already set up, and I cannot set him up as a family share member with an already existing apple id, and I did set up a family share id for him, I put a request in to delete that apple id. I believe my husband also has another apple id set up in his family share , if I am not wrong. We just want to be able to connect his apple watch to a family share plan so we can track him and contact him. Any help would be great, we both just cannot figure it out, it seems like it is much harder than it should be. [Edited by Moderator]

The Watch will be paried with the Apple ID that is on the iPhone to which it is paired. Change the Apple ID on the iPhone so it is the daughter's and then the daughter can pair the Watch and iPhone to the same ID.
