Everything else seems to be normal, and the watches even show up under their respective device list accounts. I have even turned off Screen Time for their accounts, and both accounts use 2FA (cannot turn that off). After entering any of these, the watch spins for about 2 minutes and I get the error "Verification Failed - There was an error verifying the passcode of your (or insert family member name here) iPhone (or insert iPad/Mac)." Apple gives me a choice to "reset encrypted data", which I take as an offer to destroy all their existing Apple ID passwords and data - not a good option IMO. I'm given options like their iPad passcodes, or one of my Macs. I'm able to start the pairing process using my iPhone, sign into their Apple IDs with their passwords, but I keep getting hung when Apple wants me to enter the passcode of another device. They each already have Apple IDs that are used on iPads regularly. I got my two kids (<18 yo) Apple Watch SE + Cellular, with plans to activate via Family Setup/sharing. I realize it's Christmas morning and Apple's activation servers are probably on overload, but this still seems unnecessarily frustrating. You will likely face a dependency verification failure (either checksum verification or signature verification) and will need to figure out if the dependency.
