Apple Watches on the same Apple ID

I share an Apple ID with someone who also has a watch and ever since I got mine it’s like they are connected together. Our activity and everything is all messed up and when you add friends it says our watch is the same one. How do I fix this?

I'm sure they do. But that doesn't make it the right thing to do. Apple makes it very easy for parents to share content with their children with Family Sharing --> Family Sharing - Apple


Stop sharing an Apple ID with your kids. Each person needs their own unique Apple ID. If your kids don't have their own iPhone, Apple has you covered there as well --> Set up Apple Watch for a family member – Apple Support (AU)


Until you do this, whoever you are sharing your Apple ID with will have access to your content. That means your text messages, your email and anything else you'd prefer no one but you has access to.
