My iPhone 13 Pro is not forwarding calls to my Apple Watch 7 when they’re not next to one another.

My iPhone 13 Pro does not forward my phone calls to my Apple Watch 7 (yes, all OS’s are most recent updates) when they are not next to one another. As in, if I leave my phone at home, and go walk my dogs, I will not receive a phone call on my watch. I will receive texts, emails, Facebook and twitter notifications, WhatsApp everything. I can track my walk with Strava and the like. I can stream Apple Music. I can make (instigate) phone calls from my Apple Watch 7. I simply do not receive any phone calls when not actively tethered to my iPhone. I will receive a “missed call” notification if someone tried to call me. I cannot find a setting to change or toggle to allow calls on my watch when I leave my phone behind
