I just looked at mine, and it now says

Well that's not right is it!

@eugeneocarroll Have you enabled cellular data on the watch ? Do you have an active cellular contact for the watch ? When you say doesn’t work away from the phone exactly what are you referring too ? Data ? Texts ? Calls ?

Hey there, @eugeneocarroll

Did you get a chance to check the mobile service setting in the watch app like @chistery mentioned?

If you did, what exactly does this show?

@eugeneocarroll Answered 1 question but not important one.

Is cellular data enabled on the watch ?

And shouting LOOKS LIKE THIS, if asking you a few questions to help you is too much then don’t ask for help on a public forum.
