Make location of my Apple Watch 10 visible to family on Find My

I just upgraded to an Apple Watch 10 with GPS & WiFi so that my wife can track my location when I go running without my iPhone. She can see my iPhone and other devices, I have enabled Location Sharing on the new Watch, but the new Watch does not show up under either People or Devices when she opens the Find My app. Any suggestions?

Thank you.

Set default device for find my location on Kid's Apple Watch Is there a way in Watch OS to change the default device used for location sharing? I have a child with an iPad as part of our family sharing, and they also have an Apple Watch SE set up through Family Setup. I can’t find a way to link the child’s iPad with the Apple Watch. I would prefer the watch to be the default device for location sharing instead of the iPad. Although I can see the watch under the devices section in Find My, I want it to appear in the People section of the Find My app. Any suggestions?

Sharing location from Apple Watch instead from the iPad My daughter has an iPad and an Apple Watch but when I go to Find My, in the People section, I can see the location her iPad has and not the location her watch has. If I go to the Devices section, I can see her watch’s location. I would like her watch to be the one sharing the location in the people section instead of her iPad. I can’t find a place in her iPad that selects her watch as the device to be sharing the location in Find My. What setting is making the iPad to be the default device for location sharing over the watch? Thanks

Can't see location of family member's device (watch) This used to work fine. Now it isn't. I have powered off and on both devices. I set up my daughter's Apple Watch with one ID and connected it to Family Share. On Apple Watch (SE), I have gone to Settings > Privacy & Security > Location Services > Location Services & Share My Location are both ON ... and Find Devices/Find People are set to "While Using" On my iPhone (latest version), all Locations on, in Find My app, I see my daughter's Device "Apple Watch" listed, but says "Not Sharing Location - Online" ... AND her iPad reads the same "Not Sharing Location - Online" Any other ideas?
