Hey Llattu,
Thanks for participating in Apple Support Communities. You mention the iPhone and iOS version you're using, but which Apple Watch model are you using? Here's how to know: Identify your Apple Watch - Apple Support
Here's more details to get you started: Set up Apple Watch for a family member - Apple Support
What you need
* An Apple Watch Series 4 or later with cellular,* or Apple Watch SE with cellular, with watchOS 7 or later.
* An iPhone 6s or later with iOS 14 or later for the initial watch setup.
* An Apple ID for yourself and one for the family member who will use the Apple Watch. Your Apple ID needs to have two-factor authentication turned on.
* A Family Sharing group that includes the person who'll use the Apple Watch. You need to have the role of organizer or parent/guardian to set up an Apple Watch for a family member.
* A cellular plan isn't required to set up an Apple Watch for a family member, but is necessary for some features.
Let us know how it goes.
Take care!
