connect my series 3 watch to my computer Can I connect my series 3 to my computer? Since I cannot connect it to my iphone due to it being a second watch for my son and he has no iphone? The Iwatch app says it must be a series 4 or higher to set up as a family member. He has cellular service on the watch.

I have an iPhone 12 with an Apple Watch 2nd gen connected. Brought the exact watch for my husband , he has an iPhone 6 Plus and it wouldn’t connect so as mine was ok i opened family sharing and tried to pair his watch with my 12 but no joy help Ok so i have the iPhone 12, (says Gwens 6 but 12 underneath) and a SE 2nd gen Apple Watch connected and working well. My husband has a 6s+ and the same SE 2nd gen Apple Watch and realised that it was too old after trying to connect them. So. I opened family sharing and connected him in on my iPhone 12 and tried to connect his watch to it. It comes up with GPS + Cellular series 4 or later running OS 7.00. ? Just the question why can i connect my watch ok but not my husbands when they are exactly the same. Im not the brightest with tech but I’m trying help
