Is this a cellular watch? Are you connected to WiFi?

iphone 15 pro max not ringing apple watch 9 not ringing iPhone 15 Pro Max does not ring when on loud . Also my apple watch 9 does not ring also when in loud. This has been happening since receiving both devices on launch day.Both devices are updated . Also at times , the 15 Pro max will ring only once abd then go silent without me being near the phone.My watch does not ring either. Will appreciate any help to solve this as I miss most calls and notifications since upgrading.
