my Son has an Apple Watch setup by me. He does not have a phone but I plan on giving him one. His phone will be connected to the same family account as his watch. Will they be linked together as if someone where to have an Apple Watch, iPhone, and still be in a family group using Apple?

Apple Watch SE, watchOS 9
