apple watch 6 keeps disconnecting

I have an Apple Watch 6 with cellular running watchOS 7.0.2 paired with an iPhone 11 Pro running iOS 14.0.1. Every two or three days, the swipe down/up functionality on my watch seems to stop working and I lose cellular connection and iPhone pairing. A restart is necessary to fix.

Is this a common problem? What can be done to resolve it?

Apple Watch Ultra Disconnecting from Cellular Data and only connects again if watch is restarted Hi, I'm experiencing some issues with the cellular connection on an Apple Watch Ultra. The cellular data connection drops and does not come back unless the Watch is restarted. This problems occurs when using the watch for cellular features. ie when it is not connected on a Wifi or iPhone connection. This is in an area with good 4G cellular coverage, the network coverage is not causing the problem. The Apple Watch connects to cellular data when it's first switched on, and it works and can receive data. It says when tapping the big green cellular icon: Status: Connected. The problem is when moving to an area of low signal, then back to the full signal area, it is impossible for the Watch to reconnect to a full signal, even when clearly back in the full signal area. Even when moving back in to the 4G area it says when on tapping the big green cellular icon: Status: Loading, and never moves to "Connected" as it should as there is full 4G signal, and it works in the same exact location when it restarts. The only way to cellular data reception back is to restart the Apple Watch. This obviously resets the data connection. I have tried all the usual remedies: Unpair and factory reset Apple Watch, Remove and re-add Apple Watch data plan in the Apple Watch App on the iPhone, switch cellular data on and off on Watch and switch flight mode on and off on Watch. Latest version of Watch OS 9.0.1 However the only way it regains data reception is restarting the Apple Watch. This feels to me like a WatchOS 9.0.1 software bug or a hardware issue rather than operator issue because the cellular connection works the first time it just won't reconnect after it has been out of signal range and comes back in to LTE connectivity unless the device is fully restarted?

Apple Watch keeps unpairing during initial set up I just purchased a new Apple watch series 8 and began to pair it with my iPhone 12. I got past where it is paired and I tell it which wrist I wear the watch on, and it began doing something else that would take a few minutes and then it starts to unpair. It has done this several times, and I'm not sure what to do. I've shut down each and restarted, but still does the same thing. [Re-Titled by Moderator]

Apple Watch resetting to New York and Cupertino All I just got a new iPhone 14 pro and synced it to my Apple Watch 6. Most apps work fine but the weather keeps resetting to New York and Cupertino instead of about 20 other cities on my iPhone. Both devices are on their latest os versions and I restarted both number of times. I also unpaired and paired it. I tried Apple support but they were clueless. I also deleted NY and Cupertino from my watch but they keep reappearing The weather app worked fine on my old iPhone 8. The cities show fine in my Apple Watch app on iPhone, just not on my Apple Watch. Anybody knows the fix? Thanks
