Apple Watch and family sharing

I am wanting to set up an Apple Watch series 3 (because it’s the smallest size watch) for my kids using the family sharing because they don’t have their own iPhones and I am wondering this can be done with the Apple Watch Series 3 (cellular and gps model) or whether it has to be a Series 4 or newer?

What you need

An Apple Watch Series 4 or later with cellular, or Apple Watch SE with cellular, with watchOS 7 or later.
An iPhone 6s or later with iOS 14 or later for the initial watch setup.
An Apple ID for yourself and one for the family member who will use the Apple Watch. Your Apple ID needs to have two-factor authentication turned on.
A Family Sharing setup
that includes the person who'll use the Apple Watch. You'll need to
have the role of organiser or parent/guardian to set up an Apple Watch
for a family member.
