Apple Watch won't connect to Cellular

I have a Series 6 watch. If I leave an area that has wifi, in order for the cellular to work I have to turn off the wifi and bluetooth and reset the watch. If for some reason I wanted the cellular to work even if I had wifi connection, I would still have to do the same thing. This has been a problem since I bought the watch in November.


Any ideas to help would be great. Thanks!

The first (and simplest) thing to try if something isn’t working right is to restart your Apple Watch and its paired iPhone. If necessary (device not responding), try a forced restart. Both methods can be found here:

If that doesn't help, the next steps would be to unpair and pair your watch again and restore from the backup just created. This should result in no loss of data. It deletes all temp and corrupted files and re-indexes the file system.
