Who I have the same questioned this topic

Ive been trying to activate my series 3 for the past day now and every time i go on the apple watch app and select set up cellular it takes me to the verizon screen where i login then it gives me an error message and says to try again later or call the 800 number I've already been on the phone with tech support twice for almost an hour each time and reset my watch to factory settings I've read that people are having the same issue. I had the tech person order me a new one as i figured mine might be faulty but after ready all the threads I'm starting to think its verizon and not the watch has anyone been able to resolve the issue if they're getting the same error message as me? I thought of taking it to apple but they would probably just tell me that its something on verizons end anyways.
