My Apple Watch (original) all of a sudden is displaying Airplane Mode. Airplane Mode is turned off on my iPhone. I can't seem to turn this off on my watch. With Airplane Mode on, nothing connects! i.e. it's kind of useless! Did something happen?

My Original Apple Watch is all of a sudden displaying Airplane Mode, without me initiating this, and I can't seem to change this. Airplane Mode is OFF on my iPhone. Nothing is connecting now between the two - what happened? Am I being forced to buy a new watch?!?

Swiping up from the bottom of the display to show the Control Center doean't allow you to tap Airplane Mode to turn it on & off?
