So we got an Apple Watch for my kid. Obviously one of the major features we'd like to use is "Find My" for keeping track of his location.
When I launch the Find My app on my iPhone, his watch shows up as a device but it says "no location found".
I've gone through all the watch's settings and turned on anything to do with allowing location sharing and so forth, as well as anything I could find in the watch application. No dice.
Here are some facts:
1) Watch is not paired to my phone, it's on my wife's Verizon plan so it's paired to hers; I have a corporate plan so as far as I know I can't set up the proper cellular plan from my phone during pairing.
2) I transferred the Apple ID (my son's) over to the Family Share on my phone after the watch was paired. Wife's phone is NOT part of my phone's "family".
3) Does not show up on "Find my watch" on my wife's phone
4) Phone has a separate phone number from wife's phone (not number-sharing).
Any ideas of why my son's watch won't show up on either phone's "Find My" app? I suspect it has something to do with it being paired to my wife's phone who is not location sharing or part of my "Family" and the apple ID being associated with MY phone's Family Share; somewhere in there the location is getting lost.
Literally the only way I can track the watch's location is to log into iCloud on a web browser with the watch's apple ID and track it there.
