For us here in the UAE, the Apple Watch with GPS only, costs more than the one with GPS+CELLULAR!! I’m gonna get one soon after I convinced my dad to get it for me! Along with the solo pistachio loop band which I’ll pay half for aince it 199 Dh here so yea!! I’m really excited to get my new Apple Watch SE Series 6!!!
I'd love to see a follow-up video on how this is working for you longer-term. All the youtube videos I can find are about family setup when it first released, and no long-term pros & cons
2023- ATT/ First net. States I need another phone to sync the watch for family share ? So I have a iPhone 12 Pro Max w/ apple ultra. I want to use my old apple watch 6 to give to my boy. They said I have to have a cell phone to sync and it can’t be mine ? Anyone have any experience with this ?
The family set up is the reason why I get apple products for my kids- as well as the screen time benefits. Also T-Mobile allows you to set up a certain plan, and then you can add phone lines for 10$ a month. I have my two adults siblings on my T-Mobile plan, just an FYI. I’m watching this because I bought an Apple Watch for my daughter who is 13, for christmas. I wanted to do some research on the best functions and possibilities :)
Max Tech yes, the Apple Watch is really popular in my class so I will be getting one, however I already have a phone so I don’t need family setup. However I don’t see parents giving such an expensive device to a child under 10. However it is a good idea that the Apple Watch is cheaper than the cheapest iPhone and the data!
It’s stupid though, I have a Series 5 without Cellular, I thought I could get messages as long as I am on WiFi, just like my iPad. Cellular watch is too expensive for me, now I have to wait until October to actually use this
Well, this time Apple has made such great improvements with Watch that anyone would like to have one. But I am excited about both the iPad well. Hope to see the iPad Air review soon...
My 9 year old has this. She loves it. We can track her location and text/call her. She can’t use TH-cam or TikTok or a camera. There’s even a few little watch games for her. It’s awesome.
It can use TH-cam. She can use Facebook, instagram, and more. It's just named differently. For instance, TH-cam is named "watch tube" and instagram is named "lens"
So family sharing means the minimum basics are series 4 and higher with a cellular model compulsory?So a non cellular can’t be setup using family sharing ?
Picked up the Apple Watch SE for my 9 Year Old. I'm waiting till Christmas to give it to him. Thank you for explaining in detail for the set up. This clarified that this was a great purchase for him.
The Stand Alone Apple Watch plan for kids is actually $20.00 (w/ Autopay discount). It’s $10 (w/ autopay discount) if it’s paired with your phone line. T-Mobile rep here 🙋🏽♂️ Nonetheless, if you don’t feel your child is responsible enough for a phone, Apple Watch SE is the way to go.
@@BT-wh6un Yes! I personally would not be able to pair a T-Mobile watch line with a voice line from AT&T or Verizon because we do not share the same systems.
Before, I paired the watch via an iPhone that used wifi only. Today tmobile advised to delete the cellular plan from the watch. Now they can't add it back. All messages on apple watch state. Waiting for activation🤦🏾♀️
Good video but the important parts about total cost are skipped. T-mobile $10 plan is for setting up on the same number, you need a separate number and that costs $20.
Can I pair a Bluetooth keyboard directly to a watch for texting? If we use this in lieu of a phone for our son, texting with a full mini keyboard might be beneficial.
Help! Which would you recommend: 1. Buy cellular watch & non-cellular iPad Mini or 2. Buy non-cellular watch and cellular iPad Mini for an 11 year old. Thinking #2 because the iPad can be the Wi-Fi/hot spot for the watch to ensure I can contact my child if needed. I don’t want to get her a phone simply because what she wants to do and what we need to have happen don’t require a phone per se. We believe option #2 gives us more capabilities because #1 won’t allow the watch to act as the hot spot when she needs to use the iPad away from home or public Wi-Fi. Does my logic check?
Gutemberg Ribeiro from what I’m seeing and pausing the video to read the text, it definitely works the exact way for adults. Lol my buddy is a die hard Android guy and now he wants one because of this feature!
The iPad Pro has an 120hz refresh rate which helps drasticly for drawing snd note taking with the apple pencil, if i were you i would buy the iPad Pro :) The iPad Pro has exellent battery life, the iPad Air pobably will too and both will most likely to recommend.
Can you use the Samsung Galaxy LTE watch as a stand-alone device or only with Apple? I am looking for a device for my teenager for just phone calls and texting only.
you actually have to pay the $30 for a new number if you want your child to be able to use the cellular to call you while it is out and there is no wireless available. I found out the hard way, I bought this for my daughter because I didn't want to get her a phone and paid the $10 for wearable from tmobile, and I wanted to set up the family set up and it didn't allow me to set up the cellular. She can text and stuff while on the house with the wireless but since she doesn't have a phone line, the cellular set up is not available for the family set up. It seems that the only way to get cellular for the $10 is if the watch is set up for myself because I have my own telephone
I just set up one for my daughter, but l'm having trouble with the message settings. It says that dictation (speak to text) needs to be set up on the phone, but where?? As well, I can't figure out how to design the pre-set responses for texts either.
My twin boys got the Apple Watch SE 2 for Christmas and they love the walkie-talkie app they enjoy sending my wife messages throughout the day and play paw patrol together they love their Watch phone (that’s what they call it) only if you could FaceTime on the watches
Can you use family set up for an apple watch without cellular? Also, can you use an apple watch app on an iPhone from a different apple id? Like your parents, Apple is there on the iPhone but you can use your apple is inside the watch app on the iPhone without changing the phone settings?
Hi, I have a question.... I want to get my child a Apple Watch. I would like to use family setup because he doesn’t have his own phone.... but now I am wondering if I can use family setup on A county like Colombia....
Hey ! If your parents watch is already on the watch app, and then you add your child’s Apple Watch will that delete the parents Apple Watch progress and stuff?
What if you want to set it up for an elderly parent or grandparent? Are they able to use the other features a like ECG and Heartrate monitoring, crash detection etc?
Please can you respond this question... I was on my way for buying a Apple Watch to my child, I was going to by a series 6. But now I am confused. For using the family setup, is it mandatory having gps + cellular? Or can you just have GPS?
Max Tech ok thanks, I’ll buy to then with cellular, and a last question, do cellular data and all that stuff for it to work, can they be also applied on other countries. I mean like can I have this cellular plan working while being on a other country, I live on Colombia so?
So how does this work exactly? You have to buy an LTE watch but how is the separate phone number for the watch generated? I was just at my mobile provider, XFINITY. They said this wasn’t supported.
Hmm, didn't realize they could exit out of school mode. That might be a deal breaker since I know our school district doesn't allow kids to have devices at all times. IF they can exit and use it during test and what not, then that'll be a problem for sure. Hopefully this comes with a notification to the parent, which allows them to lock it back.
Is there any options like this to use if we don’t have the cellular version? I’d like to be able to get ahold of my kid if needed still? Is it possible with WiFi?
I just bought the Apple Watch 6 series (cellular), and I’m going to be giving my 4 series (cellular) to my son. I have already set it up, but now, I’m wondering how to go about downloading complications (apps) directly from his watch. When I try to download from the App Store on the watch, I am prompted to enter his Apple ID, and password, which I do, but it just ignores my entry, and keeps asking over and over again. I’ve seen the option to share app purchases, but that isn’t working either. I know there’s no problem with the watch itself, because I’ve kept it in pristine condition.
One problem I encountered while setting up a child is when I put my child’s current apple ID (since he has an ipad already) on the email address part, it is saying that this ID has already been used or taken. So I basically is not able to set up my child as a child if I want to tie it on to his current apple ID. I set him up as an adult. Do you have any solution to this or aware of this problem? Thanks!
I am so frustrated. I have an Apple Watch SE (gen 2) GPS and a IPhone 14 max pro and it just can’t get my kid’s iWatch paired. I keep getting the message that I need a GPS series 4 Apple Watch or later and I have all of that. I have also created my kid’s Apple ID and have shared as family member. No idea what I am doing wrong 😢
Do all Apple Watches work with Family Sharing? edit: nvm, should have watched all the way through! Series 4 and up, paired with 6s or newer. Gotcha! This is the only thing I've ever wanted an Apple Watch for.
I’ve noticed that on my daughters watch she has the school time app in her toolbar. How I can adjust it for her ever though both of our watches don’t have both GPS & Cellular

This is actually such a good idea on Apple’s part
I can see Apple Watches becoming very popular for kids within a year or two.

Love from India 🇮🇳
It’s 2024 and I’m wondering if I should try this for my 6 turning seven year old daughter
Can we also track the location of person who's wearing the watch?
wow you are the first to post how to do this.
Yeh! When we filmed this, there weren't any articles online about how to do this, so we figured it out as we filmed and got this up quickly.
Hello

I can’t wait for your review of iPad Air
Me too
ipad air doesn’t worth it
tdrawup it is worth it
@@piggyooi that's what a person who can't *afford* it would say
@@aditjindal It's funny because what you said is person who can't afford Pro would say
This got me buying a Apple Watch for the first time ever
For anyone using their Apple Watch for their kids, can they text and call to Android too? Also which celluar network are you using?
Group text with android user doesn’t come through. Not sure about individual users.
Using BetterRoaming
The Stand Alone Apple Watch plan for kids is actually $20.00 (w/ Autopay discount). It’s $10 (w/ autopay discount) if it’s paired with your phone line.
T-Mobile rep here 🙋🏽♂️
Nonetheless, if you don’t feel your child is responsible enough for a phone, Apple Watch SE is the way to go.
Does the watch's cellular plan line need to be with the same carrier as the iphone?
@@BT-wh6un Yes! I personally would not be able to pair a T-Mobile watch line with a voice line from AT&T or Verizon because we do not share the same systems.

These new parental controls and Apple Watch SE are a monstrous combo. Great vid man!
Can I pair a Bluetooth keyboard directly to a watch for texting? If we use this in lieu of a phone for our son, texting with a full mini keyboard might be beneficial.
Question. Does this mean I could buy one as a gift for my Android using family member? As they are an adult, how does the setup process differ?
You can set it up on your phone where they will get their own number, you just have to pay for the service to use their number on AT&T, Verizon, etc.
Dude, just get them a Galaxy Watch which are natively supported by Android.
Apple should add school time mode for non family set up watches for students that have iPhones
This is literally the best video on this! Thanks
Thank you! I just got an Apple Watch cause i dont have a iPhone just Ipad
The bad thing is that battery on data mode is trash in Apple Watch.
Is there a way to set up for family sharing for a non cellular watch?
Help! Which would you recommend: 1. Buy cellular watch & non-cellular iPad Mini or 2. Buy non-cellular watch and cellular iPad Mini for an 11 year old.

How about additional apps?
Can i have my own Apple Watch paired if pairing a family one?
Can I still use my watch off my phone if they are family sharing with their own Watch and cellular data ?
Did you ever get this answered anywhere else? I have this question, as well.
I wonder how it would work with Elders. I only see the child account there...
Same. I'm planning to get one for my mom.
Works exactly the same for parents
Max Tech so we create a children account as well?
Gutemberg Ribeiro from what I’m seeing and pausing the video to read the text, it definitely works the exact way for adults. Lol my buddy is a die hard Android guy and now he wants one because of this feature!
How do you get the sleep app on the watch when connected as a family plan?
that's cool! can't wait for the iPad air review!!
If the Kid has a iPhone will it show up in their watch app???
I have a question, i have the SE WITH data for my son but it say i hace to link the data line with an existing phone number on my account
I wish I saw this for my parents b4 I got an apple watch
How can we get cellular on the Apple Watch with family set-up?
Does the iPhone you set it up with need to be activated?
Should I buy the iPad air 4 or iPad pro?
I'm planning to take notes and do digital art and I need something to last more then 7 hours
The iPad Pro has an 120hz refresh rate which helps drasticly for drawing snd note taking with the apple pencil, if i were you i would buy the iPad Pro :)
The iPad Pro has exellent battery life, the iPad Air pobably will too and both will most likely to recommend.
Thanks for the video! do I need the Apple watch for kid must have cellular?
Did you try to download music in such setup?
Can you use the Samsung Galaxy LTE watch as a stand-alone device or only with Apple? I am looking for a device for my teenager for just phone calls and texting only.
How many kids can I add to family?
I like how he’s 5’4 and he’s seven years old 7:11

Is this still a thing for northern Canada?

Will a family set-up for a child work if I use a pay as you go DATA ONLY sim? Is there FaceTime audio on Apple Watch?
Great and helpful video! Hope you reach that sweet little 1 million subs soon.
Hey ! If your parents watch is already on the watch app, and then you add your child’s Apple Watch will that delete the parents Apple Watch progress and stuff?
Would you rather, buy Apple Watch SE Cellular, or Apple Watch series 6 gps?
Would this work if I got one for my GF who has a pixel phone but wants an apple watch for work outs?
You just need to have an iPhone running iOS 14
What if you want to set it up for an elderly parent or grandparent? Are they able to use the other features a like ECG and Heartrate monitoring, crash detection etc?
Please can you respond this question...
I was on my way for buying a Apple Watch to my child, I was going to by a series 6. But now I am confused. For using the family setup, is it mandatory having gps + cellular? Or can you just have GPS?
Mandatory to get Cellular unless you also get your child an iPhone
Max Tech ok thanks, I’ll buy to then with cellular, and a last question, do cellular data and all that stuff for it to work, can they be also applied on other countries. I mean like can I have this cellular plan working while being on a other country, I live on Colombia so?
Apple Watch is good for adults and elderly too
How do I add app on it?
Can this work without cellular?
Can onky WiFi apple watches do something similar?
Do they get a separate phone number or the calls go on the parents phone too?
Will the child get my calls on their watch?
Yes it will my dad got me one an it works great
is t-mobile the only provider that lets you activate a watch without a phone? currently with sprint, and have no desire to make the switch just yet
I may have to get me a a iPhone and a watch. Good tech.
I am just waiting for an iPad Air vs iPad Pro review
Can I use watch 3 lte for my kid?
So how does this work exactly? You have to buy an LTE watch but how is the separate phone number for the watch generated? I was just at my mobile provider, XFINITY. They said this wasn’t supported.

Could I set up apple watch with android phone..
Can you please make a video how to use Apple Watch with a android phone ? Thanks.
I dont think you can pair apple watch and android.
Do Apple Watch phone numbers setup for children still get spam/scam calls?
What I really want is a way to share one watch with two phones.
I just bought the Apple Watch 6 series (cellular), and I’m going to be giving my 4 series (cellular) to my son.

This is great. Thank you so much for making this very useful video, it answered so many of the questions I had.
Is that the new series 6 stainless steel gold ? I really hope not.
Haha that’s my series 5 gold stainless that we used for the tutorial video. If I end up getting my kid one it will be SE 40mm.
Yea but you need cellular version
Hey Vadim You are really doing a great job
Thanks for these videos

Hi! on the SIM card, do you have to enter the sim in, or will it sync the parents SIM card so do you have to buy the SIM card or not?
