Setting up for a family member requires gps cellular Apple Watch Series 4 or later that is running watchOS 7.0 or later

Why does my series 7 gps not work when trying to pair for a family member option but pairs for my personal use on same phone? Everything is updated and still won’t pair. Want to give it to my son but I can’t because it wont let me pair for family member option

Apple Watch Series 7, watchOS 9

Hey there Dannyalva212,


Thanks for reaching out to the Apple Support Communities.


To get started, we do want to let you know that this is expected. To set up an Apple Watch for a family member, this would require an "An Apple Watch Series 4 or later with cellular,* or Apple Watch SE with cellular, with watchOS 7 or later."


You can find this information, and more details at this link here: Set up Apple Watch for a family member - Apple Support


We hope that's able to help.


Best regards.
