Have a cellular apple watch myself, and considering a cellular watch for my minor

I have a cellular watch and an iphone. Can I add an additional cellular watch (for my minor child) to my iphone (for controls) or do I have to get an apple product (signed in with their or my apple ID) that syncs the cellular watch to it?

I'm not finding a lot on my searching that specifically addresses this.

Some limitations: Cannot receive SMS/MMS messages, as that depends on a fully paired iPhone. Messaging is pretty much limited to Apple's Messages, unless the messaging service provides an Apple Watch app. Alarms, alerts, notifications on the iPhone are not sent to the Apple Watch. Apple Pay via a credit card is not available. Also not available: Medications, respiratory rate, irregular heart rhythm notifications, ECG, AFib History, Cycle Tracking, Sleep, Wrist Temperature, Blood Oxygen, Walking Steadiness, Audiobooks, Camera Remote, News, Shortcuts, and the double tap gesture.
