Pairing Apple Watch for Family Member

I have an Apple Watch 6 and an IPhone 6S. I have added my daughter’s Apple ID to my iPhone. When I try to pair the watch with the family member I get a message to the effect that you need an Apple Watch GPS or Cellular version 4 or later to add a family member. What do I need to do differently?

Apple Watch Series 6, watchOS 7

What you need

* A cellular plan isn't required to set up an Apple Watch for a family member, but is necessary for some features.
