Two different Apple IDs and 2 different users sharing one Apple Watch?

A family member and I want to share the same apple watch and use it when the other person isn't. How do I do that?

There is no smooth transition when an Apple Watch is moved from one iPhone to another or from one Apple ID to another. You will have to unpair and re-pair the Apple Watch, each time, when you switch iPhones and Apple IDs. This is, of course, if you want to use all of the Apple Watch's functions as intended with an Apple iPhone.
