Currently, Apple Watch does not support multiple user profiles. Each Apple Watch is paired to a single iPhone, linking them to a single individual. To share functionality with your wife, consider Family Setup in watchOS 7 and later, which allows you to set up an Apple Watch for another family member using your iPhone. However, both watches will still function independently, tailored to each user’s needs.
