Apple Watch possible hardware failure

My Apple Watch no longer recognizes my WiFi or my iPhone. How do I test it to determine if I have a watch hardware failure?

Apple Watch won't finish set up because I'm "not connected to wifi" but I am connected to Wifi and have even tried different Wifi connections. Does any one else have this problem? What did you do to fix it? I really don't want to have to go in to an apple store. The watch is a Series 4, GPS, and the Phone is a 12 Pro running latest IOS (16.0.2 I think)

If you still need help, contact Apple Support.

Or better yet, make an appointment at the Genius Bar in an Apple Store near you and let them look at it:

Thanks Javaliga. I was trying to avoid the trip to the Apple Store since that is usually long lines and time lost, but without a watch, I won't know the time lost so it may work out fine.
