Hes on his second watch now as they thought the first one could be faulty, we've went through all the setting ect and even contacted Samsung who say its an O2 network issue. I had the same issue a year ago trying to get my daughters apple watch set up with O2.
Store saying its fine just to wait another 24hrs but sick fed up being palmed off with them now and customer service is a complete joke!!
Grateful for any advice.

The way the Samsung Galaxy watch works, is that if it is in range of Bluetooth then it will always use this, for calls and relay it onto the watch.
If it is out of range then it needs to use WiFi or Mobile data to create a remote connection back to the phone as it uses this connection to make calls out / and to receive them
You cant make calls from the watch or take calls if it cant talk to your husbands phone.
Also go into the settings in the app and makes sure Remote Connections are enabled.
For full details, and scroll to the bottom.

I've been through the o2 Guru Team on Twitter for months, who though have been helpful have not resolved this issue, I even sent my watch off to get it repaired but clearly the Watch is fine, I was then told by the Twitter team that I would need to go into an o2 store once shops reopened as there is some sort of 'process' that needs to be done in store. I visited an o2 store this past week and they had no idea about any process and just went through the usual troubleshooting methods that have so far failed up to this point and I have tried them all.
Weird thing is though, I reset the esim and rescanned the esim yesterday and if I switch the network mode to 3g only on the Watch I can make and receive phone calls with no problem at all.. problem is though, is that it is using the Watches own number with which I have been charged for.
Clearly it is an o2 issue, as other users have said, like myself Samsung reps have said just that.
Think once my contract is up later this year I'll be off to EE, have been a loyal customer for over two decades but o2 are really lagging behind in terms of their services compared to some other network providers.
