Apple Watch not connecting to cellular

I recently upgraded to an iPhone 15 pro. My Apple Watch 8 is not connecting to cellular (Xfinity) network. Everything else transferred over from my iCloud backup. Any thoughts?

Apple Watch 9 does not connect to Verizon Cellular I am unable to connect my brand new Apple Watch 9 to Verizon cellular via the app. I contacted Verizon and they were unable to connect my Watch to the network. They are currently working on it. Has anybody had the same issue? How did you fix it?

Apple Watch Ultra without iPhone - not using cellular data Hi all, when my Ultra is used without iPhone, the cellular data connectivity is not available for apps. Even the Email app shows "Cannot Get Mail. No connection available to retrieve messages". Similar connectivity error is shown by 3rd party apps, for example WatchChat. My cellular plan is active, phone/messages work without any issue. I can see green 4G, so should be OK. Any thoughts what can be the problem? Thanks

Apple Watch Difficulties My apple watch doesn’t seem to be able to work in its own with its own cellular data. For example if my iPhone was powered off, the apple watch wouldn’t be able to work. Such as sending and receiving messages but able to make and receive phone calls. I checked settings and I have everything turned on: cellular, cellular data, and data roaming. Does anyone know how I could fix this?
