my watch was connected to my phone as a GPS version and somehow in the last couple of days it disconnected and now when I press the icon to reconnect it says I do not have a cellular plan? Apple Support says to unpair and then re-pair but gives no instructions on how to do that. My phone does not recognize my watch in the bluetooth settings.

You can use a cellular watch as a GPS only version and add the cellular plan at a later date.

When you unpaired the watch did you remove the cellular plan?.
