I found the answer (at least for me) on reddit

I used the suggestion to install the Home app. I had it on the iPad but not on my iPhone. Once I had them both installed AND connected to iCloud, my iPad immediately found my watch for the workouts. Might want to also make sure iCloud Keychain is enabled. I tried this step first. when it didn't solve the problem I did not go back and disable it so Keychain may have something to do with this. I just don't know.

All works well now. Thank you for the help.
