Hi all!

I have looked and cannot see anything posted.

I have an SE Apple watch that we got for our daughter at the weekend, she already owns an iPhone mini.

I was hoping to setup the watch with the ability to use the new schooltime mode etc AND be paired to her phone for alerts etc

This doesn't seem possible, has anybody been able to do this? Or know if it's possible?

Thanks!

The best way is to pair her watch with her iPhone normally and you'll monitor her through tools provided in iOS. Not sure about school time feature though.

No this is not possible. You either fully pair her Apple Watch SE to her iPhone or your use the Family Setup / Sharing Feature to pair her Apple Watch SE to an adult's iPhone to use the school time feature or other parental options.
