Apple Watch Screen Time

My child’s watch is set up on her iPhone. When I turn on Screen Time on her phone, it’s not on on her Apple Watch. Am I doing something incorrectly?

Apple Watch screentime for child I can not seem to get screen time to activate on my child’s Apple Watch. The phone locks out, but the watch seems to ignore the screentime setting.

ScreenTime, Schooltime, Apple Watch and Iphone If my child has her own iPhone and Apple watch (luxury problems indeed), how do I set up Schooltime and Screentime on her watch? Her own iPhone is going to be the iPhone used to set up the watch so that if she gets a call it will ring on her watch. I want to be able to have the same control over the watch that I have over her phone with Screentime. I also want the same control Schooltime provides in being able to set up multiple blocks of time that the watch is blocked, whereas Screentime only allows one period of time.

Child’s Apple Watch not showing in Screen Time I have twice now set up a child’s Apple Watch under my iPhone under the Family Sharing method, and both times the watch would not show under Screen Time. The watches were set up correctly so please do not repost the Apple page on setting up a watch in Family Sharing as that is not helpful. When I go to Screen Time in the Watch app it does not have any actions; only a link back to the Screen Time page in my iPhone’s Settings app. But in the Settings Screen Time page the watch does not appear anywhere. Family Sharing and Screen Time are basically useless despite how they are advertised. Has anyone actually had success in correctly linking a child’s watch to Screen Time?

I think those features may only be available with Family Set Up:
