Why is my Apple Watch battery settings grayed out?

So I was just scrolling through my settings and I wanted to see if my Apple Watch SE has any battery data for me or if it has a battery health checker, but when I go to Settings and try to click on Battery, it’s grayed out, does anyone have a clue why this is the case?

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.
