Hi liteair,


We understand that you're wondering how to set up shared contacts for a family member on their Apple Watch. Check out the one step (specifically step 9) below, from the following article: Set up an Apple Watch for a family member - Apple Support


"Set up shared contacts and Schooltime

Now you're asked to set up the contacts that will be available on the Apple Watch. To allow this, you need to have Contacts in iCloud enabled. Go to Settings > [your name] > iCloud on your iPhone and make sure that Contacts is turned on.*


Then you can choose trusted people from your own Contacts app to share on the Apple Watch. You can manage these shared contacts later, and set up restrictions, in Screen Time on your iPhone.


Finally, set a Screen Time passcode for the watch, and turn on Schooltime. When you're finished, tap OK to begin using the Apple Watch.


* If you're in China mainland, you also need to make sure that the Contacts app on your iPhone can use wireless data. Open Contacts, then tap one of the options to allow data use."


Let us know if that helps or if you have any questions.


Best wishes.
