Set up Apple Watch for a family member - Apple Support

However also see in Apple Watch - Carriers - Apple that there are no Indian providers who claim to support Family Setup. It is still worth asking Airtel if that is still the case.

To set up cellular service on an Apple Watch for a family member using Airtel in India, you can follow these steps:

1. Check compatibility: Make sure the Apple Watch model you have supports cellular connectivity. Not all Apple Watch models have this feature. If it does, proceed to the next step.
2. Contact Airtel: Get in touch with Airtel customer support or visit an Airtel store to inquire about adding an Apple Watch to your family member's cellular plan. Airtel should be able to guide you through the process and provide the necessary information.
3. Check for carrier updates: Ensure that your iPhone is running the latest version of iOS. Carrier updates are often included with iOS updates, and they can enable the necessary functionality for cellular connectivity on the Apple Watch.
4. Activate cellular on the Apple Watch: Open the Watch app on your iPhone and go to the "My Watch" tab. Select "Cellular" and follow the on-screen instructions to activate cellular service for the Apple Watch.
5. Pair your Apple Watch and iPhone: Make sure your Apple Watch is paired with your iPhone. The Watch app on your iPhone will guide you through the pairing process if you haven't done this already.
6. Set up cellular plan on the Apple Watch: On the Watch app, go to the "Cellular" section and select "Set Up Cellular." Follow the instructions provided to add the Apple Watch to your family member's Airtel cellular plan.
7. Verify settings: Once you've completed the setup process, double-check the cellular settings on your Apple Watch. Go to the Settings app on your Apple Watch and select "Cellular" to confirm that it's properly configured.

Note: It's important to remember that additional charges may apply for adding an Apple Watch to a cellular plan, and availability may vary depending on Airtel's policies and offerings. It's advisable to contact Airtel directly for accurate and up-to-date information on their plans and procedures for adding an Apple Watch to your family member's cellular service.
