My child is 9 years old and they realized that when they do their Fitness+ workouts or regular running workouts their calories burned is not calculated. Is there a way to get my child's calories burned to calculate or is there a minimum age limit for that? I do have their health information like age, height and weight in the health app.
Apple Watch Series 7
Hello brionofrad,
Usually calorie tracking is the default for people aged 13 and older, but you can turn on calorie tracking for people under that age if the Apple Watch is set up on their iPhone with their Apple ID. The directions is down below.
Change to Calorie Tracking on your Apple Watch: Open the Watch app on the iPhone, then click on the profile picture on the top right of your screen. Click “Under 13 Years Old”, then toggle the switch off under the option “Under 13 years old”. Lastly, you will se a pop up of what will happen when you turn off “Under 13 years old”. Read that, then click “Turn off” if you are okay with those stuff happening.
Hope this helps,

13 years is the minimum age with their own iphone.
AFAIK family paired watches (dad's iphone) always show minutes.
That thread is 14 months old.
What age can my kids' apple watch calculate calories burned during workouts?
