Why did my watch stop answering my phone?

Hi , my watch isn’t answering or allowing me to make calls suddenly. I swiped up from the bottom of the watch and the antenna icon is not green. I have powered on and off both phone and watch, paired and unpaired. I have gone to watch app on phone and under cellular it has under the i “Apple Watch is active.” On the iPhone 11 I have cellular data and roaming on. Both operating systems are current. Should it show under Calls on Other Devices? I called AppleCare and was told it is my phone plan. My phone works with cellular, Bluetooth and WiFi no problem. I recently traveled and tried turning airplane mode off and on. Any suggestions? Thanks!! 🤞🏻

The antenna icon is not going to be green at this time, since the Watch is paired to the iPhone and is in the vicinity. You wouldn't need cellular to be connected at this point because your iPhone is. However, you should still be able to make a call with the Watch. See this for additional help.
