Setting Apple Watch location as primary location

I have tried setting my location to my Watch instead of iPhone, but I didn’t succeed doing so. I’m most of the time going outside with the Watch leaving my iPhone at home and I want people, who I am sharing my location to, know where exactly I am.

Does anyone know how to do it?

Apple Watch SE, watchOS 8

Hi MLGMarek_cz,


Thanks for the reply. If we understand correctly, you want to know about sharing location from your Apple Watch without your iPhone nearby, and you use a Watch that only connects via Wi-Fi. Is that right? If so, while this isn't possible, you can always submit this suggestion here: Product Feedback - Apple


Kind regards.

Hi,

No, I haven’t set it up using the video nor on my Watch, but I have set it up on my iPhone.

My Watch is not a cellular model, but I am still connected to the internet most of the time using friend’s hotspot.

Below should be some screenshots which could point out better what I want changed.

Below is source (zdroj in my language) of my location that I want to change to my location of my Apple Watch instead of iPhone if possible.

Thanks

Hello MLGMarek_cz,


Welcome to Apple Support Communities. Using Find My to share your location is a great way to let those you want see where you are located.


Did you set this up using this guide in the video?  How to use Find My on Apple Watch | Apple Support


If so, is your Apple Watch a cellular model? Do you have an active cellular plan on it?


Please let us know.


Cheers!
