Apple Watch cellular activation error

Why will my series 7 watch not activate with the cellular feature? I purchased my watch 3 months ago from ATT and attempted to link it with my iPhone 13, but the icon in the cellular activation tab has been spinning ever since. I’ve unpaired, repaired, updated each, performed a hard reset on each and been to 3 different ATT locations. The last location I went to stated that I have a faulty Apple Watch and need to contact Apple. Is that accurate?
