Thanks a ton. This has been bugging me for a few weeks. Your solution is not a perfect fix for me, but it helped me get it working. In order for me to get the watch to work, I changed the settings as you mentioned. Then, I have to switch off wifi on my watch and then go to Settings/Cellular and then reconnect to cellular. Sometimes I have to mess with the cell setting on the watch once or twice, going back a screen and then trying to reconnect to cellular. After that, it connects, and I’m ready to go with just my watch. Pain it’s so glitchy. I don’t know why my music cell settings on my phone were turned off, but they were. This was also causing me issues with basic streaming on Apple Music (evidently only downloaded songs we’re playing). So, again, thanks for posting this solution!!
