Apple Watch disconnects when I use my iPhone’s cellular data

My Apple Watch connects to my phone just fine when my phone’s cellular data is off but as soon as I turn my phone’s cellular data on , my watch keeps connecting and disconnecting.

Im now using the latest updates on my phone and watch (17.0.1 / 10.0.1)( iPhone 12 / Apple Watch s6)

I’ve been having this issue for a long time now.

I’ve already tried unpairing and restarting my phone and watch,also turning on/off airplane mode.

please somebody help me 😩🙏🏻

I noticed something. I noticed that the connection can be disconnected in the LTE mode of the Bluetooth phone. You need to put the net in 3G mode. It worked for me because if it's in LTE mode it keeps switching and disabling bluetooth. For now the best way is to put it in 3G mode. Put the internet in 3G mode, then put it in airplane mode, after a few moments remove it and let me know the result. I think you live in Iran, right?

I removed the SIM card from the phone and connected it to the phone and the watch via Wi-Fi, the problem is solved, but the problem starts from the point where I don't receive messages and calls at all, the battery of the Apple Watch and the phone is draining a lot, I'm really disappointed with iOS17 I became It was not a problem

Hello 

yes I live in Iran , do you?

well I know that it only disconnects when my phone’s cellular is on, but what is the solution???

I can’t put my cellular data on 3G , It’s too slow.( though it didn’t solve the problem)

When did this issue happened to you?

It first started when I updated my phone to IOS17, but it has still remained till today that I’m using 17.0.2 public version.

My watch keeps disconnecting from my phone. I have se watch and 14 pro phone. All updated to the latest versions. I’ve checked Bluetooth, airplane mode, ive restarted my phone and watch, I’ve disconnected them and synced them back…. I’m not sure what else to do and nothing on the internet helps. All articles say the same thing
