Apple Watch Family Setup showing parents name

My son has an Apple Watch Series 9 which was set up using family setup. It has been showing my name instead of his in activity notifications etc. Does anyone know how to fix this?

Apps on Family Member Apple Watch I have an Apple Watch SE set up for a family member (who does not have their own iPhone). From that SE watch, I'm not able to download any apps from the app store. Any time I try to download an app it asks to verify Apple ID. Once that is entered correctly, it loops back to trying to download the app, but nothing happens. Additionally, from the Watch app on my iPhone, when managing the family members watch there is no section for apps the way there is for my watch. I've already tried resetting Apple ID password for this family member and unpair/re-pairing the watch. Any thoughts?

Set up kids iPhone We have given my son my husbands old Apple Watch. My husband has some all the set up yet for some reason the watch thinks it belongs to be. I’m not sure how this can happen as I’ve never even opened the watch. E.g when he hits an exercise goal it says “congratulations Samantha”. Why would it have paired with my profile and how do I untangle this?
