Lately, when i put my watch on the watch charger, all my calls still only ring on my watch. I have missed several calls because of this because my watch is usually in a different room when it's charging. I have double and triple checked my settings in the watch app and on my phone, but nothing works. Does someone know how to fix this?

Hi msjm421,
Thank you for using the Apple Support Communities! We would recommend the following steps that can help:
Use your Apple Watch without your iPhone nearby
When your iPhone is off or out of range, your Apple Watch can use a Wi-Fi network to send and receive data. Your watch can also connect to a cellular network if it's a cellular model. And if you've set up an Apple Watch for a family member, they can use a cellular or Wi-Fi connection with their watch.
When your Apple Watch is connected to Wi-Fi, the Wi-Fi icon appears in Control Center. When it's connected to cellular, the cellular icon appears.
If your Apple Watch is in Low Power Mode
When your Apple Watch is in Low Power Mode, several features are turned off or modified, which can affect some of the apps listed here.
•Wi-Fi and cellular data are turned off when your iPhone isn't nearby, until you open and use an app that requires a network connection.
•Incoming phone calls are sent to voicemail when your iPhone isn't nearby, and outgoing calls might take longer to make.
•Background heart rate measurements, background blood oxygen measurements, and heart rate alerts are turned off.
Hope this helps!
Have a great day.
