I had an Apple Watch Ultra 2 which we just managed to get the sim plan through technical team, I’ve now upgraded and can’t get the mobile service working because all it says is “We believe you have an existing watch plan but we are having difficulty locating it. Please call 202 for free from your O2 mobile, quoting reference code 901.”
I have called 02 so many times and they’ve not helped once and said someone would call but don’t. So frustrated

Hello welcome to the o2 community @Kira-Marie
Sorry to hear your difficulties. I don't think o2 customer services will call you.
You may be better sending a message to the social media team, if that suits you.
All ways to contact o2 here:

Would love to help but we are bereft of O2 staff here.

Do you have a physical sim in your phone or an esim?
Customer service need to close all existing data plans for your watch as you won't be able to reconnect to your existing plan
Once that is done you can go ahead and complete a new data plan and connect your watch

I’ve told them the same and they raised an incident ticket, I’ve also tried to get 02 to remove my old eSIM for my watch but apparently it would cost me 800 odd quid

Somebody has really crossed their wires there - keep trying until you get an agent who talks sense, @Kira-Marie

Instead of ringing up, use Facebook or Instagram, and deal with them that way, and just say you have a new iPhone and are trying to move the Watch to sync to the new phone..
As it sounds like they think you want to cancel the watch plan etc.
