I am not getting a cellular connection on my watch?? I have it activated on my provider plan, but if my phone is not nearby I don’t get any notifications. What am I missing

Watch w/cellular is not working if I don’ t have my iPhone nearby. I have the watch enrolled with my service provider, but phone and watch are up to date with software. I just disconnected the watch from the phone and reconnected, same results. What am I missing?

If the iPhone is not around, if you have a cellular connection, you should see it in Control Center on the Watch. I'm sorry, on the newer watchOS, they have changed the signal strength to the center area and similar to the iPhone lines. Here is the correct image.
