Stand alone watch

Is there a way to silence unknown callers for stand alone watch? I got an Apple Watch SE for the kiddo, and I don’t want her to be bothered with calls from anyone other than who is in the contact list.

Apple Watch SE Same problem as others - would like to silence Unknown Callers on child’s Apple Watch (separate phone number) set up for a Family Member on my phone. If I silence unknown callers on my phone/phone number, then it blocks mine too. Can I block unknown phone numbers that call my child’s specific phone number only? This feature would be nice to have if it doesn’t exist as spammers target kids.

How to block unknown callers on an Apple Watch I don’t see any way to block unknown callers on an Apple Watch with cellular for a Family Member (with an Apple Watch only - no iPhone). I got my daughter an Apple Watch with cellular. This is her only Apple device. I used the family setup option to configure her watch on my iPhone. I setup her Apple Watch on its own line (under my TMobile family plan). I don’t see any way to block unknown callers on her Apple Watch (and the family setup is not helpful here either). Am I missing anything? Didn’t Apple anticipate having people with only Apple Watch receiving spam calls? This feature is a must (for minors in a family setup).

Restricting calls on apple watch in family mode I bought an apple watch for my daughter to use. She is 8 and so doesnt need a phone, but we would like a way to track her and be able to contact her or have her contact us in an emergency. Unfortunately within 1 hour of her number being active, she has already received spam calls. How do we restrict incoming calls to those on her contacts? This should be a basic feature of the family mode as the last thing you want is your child or older parent receiving spam, inappropriate or scam calls

Your sentence is breaking up but I guess I got your point now. This is a well known issue, see here for instance:

I'm not sure if there is any solution available yet - but it is definitely something worth submitting as product feedback:
