I had a Google Pixel 6 Pro and then got a pixel watch - all through Verizon. My watch has its own number and number shares with my phone. I got a new phone - Pixel 8 Pro and when I connected my watch it "reset" and now it does not seem to connect to the Verizon network - only bluetooth. I tried replying to a text away from my phone and it said it was offline but it let me use my watch in the same place to Tap Pay.
