Kids Apple Watch Not Showing Correct Name

I set up my daughters new Apple ID for under 13 and watch with family sharing and there are a few things that don’t seem to be working correctly. Activity reports are using her moms name. Contact card says her mom’s name, not my daughters name. But when I look at my family sharing it has my daughters correct Apple ID and correct email address. Any idea how to fix these issues? Thanks!

Hey there tbottoms84,

It sounds like you've set up an Apple Watch for your daughter but may need to adjust a setting. You mentioned the Contact Card showing her mom's information. Have you tried updating that? Let's look at the following guide: Set up Apple Watch for a family member.

"You can use your iPhone to adjust settings and customize features on a Family Setup watch:

Open the Apple Watch app on the iPhone that you used to set up the watch.
Tap All Watches, tap the watch under Family Watches, then tap Done.
Choose a setting to adjust." (Retrieved from resource linked above)

Take care.
