Had contacted O2 direct earlier today given where I was handed a NIC number and advised will be contacted by a software engineer. No contacts subsequently. However have noticed people getting help on the forum so would really appreciate any help in sorting this out for me please. @EmilieT

This helped someone yesterday with the same issue.
Not sure how you've tried to set it up but reset the watch and follow this:
Set up the data plan from the watch setup routine and it will walk you through buying an airtime plan.
https://www.o2.co.uk/help/phones-sims-and-devices/apple-watch
Open the Watch app on your iPhone and tap on ‘Mobile Data’.
Then tap ‘Set up mobile data’. You’ll be prompted to sign in with your My O2 username and password.
Once you’ve signed in, select your Apple Watch plan. Follow the steps on the screen to set up your Apple Watch Airtime Plan.
It can take up to 24 hours to activate, but sometimes it might take a little longer.
To check if your new Airtime Plan is active, open the Watch app on your iPhone and tap on ‘Mobile Data’. In the ‘Data Plan’ section, if you see O2 with the word ‘activating’ then you’ll have to wait a little longer for set up to complete. If you see O2 with an orange ‘i’ next to it, then you’re all set up.
Currently using:
OnePlus 6 (O2 & Sfr), Z3 Tablet (Three UK), iPhone 8+ (EE)

@EmilieT is on holiday for a week so if you are still having problems after trying the above then perhaps @Martin-O2 or @Marjo can help when they are back in the office on Monday.

So really can’t see any advantage in taking it to Apple Store.

@drmsa It's possible that someone in the Apple store has seen this issue before and knows how to resolve it. If you have a store nearby there's no harm in trying. If you think it's an O2 issue and the workaround mentioned earlier hasn't helped you should speak to customer service.

Checked the watch app on the phone stated I am up and running now - this is where it used to show the error earlier. However when checked the watch itself - on Mobile Data - on Plan - O2 but Status - No Connection!!?
Looks like but longer with the waiting game.
