Adding Apple watch user to walkie talkie app

im try to add a contact to my Apple Watch walkie talkie app. The contact is sitting right next to me with their Apple Watch. When I try to add them from the app on my watch I get an error saying they’re not an Apple watch user. How can I add them or get them recognized as an Apple Watch user/owner?

They MUST be running iPhone iOS 12.4 (you too)
They MUST be running Apple Watch watchOS 5.3 (you too)
After the upgrade power cycle both the iPhone and Apple Watch
Both of you MUST be able to use your iPhone to make a FaceTime connection to each other (this is just a test as Walkie-Talkie is really a Push-to-Talk FaceTime audio connection, so you MUST have a working FaceTime between your iPhones)
In YOUR iPhone Contacts, make sure you have their iPhone number tagged as 'iPhone' NOT "Mobile", NOT "Home" etc...

This was helpful, but still didn't work. I confirmed all of the above and I still get the error that the contact doesn't have an Apple Watch. The contact can't add me either. Odd...
