cellular watch series 8
xfinity is telling me that I have to always have my phone with me to make or receive calls on my cellular series 8 watch. I should be able to leave my phone at home and take a walk and still receive calls, am I correct?

As explained in Set up cellular on Apple Watch:
"Set up cellular on Apple Watch
With a cellular connection on Apple Watch, you can make calls, reply to messages, receive notifications, and more — even while you’re away from your iPhone.
Before you start
- Make sure that you have the latest software on your iPhone and your Apple Watch.
- Check for updates to your carrier settings.
- Make sure that you have an eligible cellular service plan with a supported carrier. Your iPhone and Apple Watch must use the same carrier,* and you must be within your carrier's network when you set up cellular on your watch.
- If you have an enterprise or corporate cellular service plan, check with your company or carrier to see if they support this feature. Pre-paid accounts and some older accounts aren’t currently supported. To make sure that your account is eligible, contact your carrier."
