Pull the notification bar down, it should be there as Mobile Data. If not there, go to Settings.

Well, that's what cellular data is. You can't turn it off and use the phone.

I've ran into this same issue. Turns out if you have NumberSync on, the watch doesn't use the typical Bluetooth connection like a regular Android Wear watch, even when data is turned off.

From what I can tell, the resolution is all or nothing. Either use cellular 100% of the time, or disable cellular and do not set up any numbersync. From my experience, as soon as numbersync is set up, it will not allow the watch to receive text notifications regularly from phone, must come through the sim card.
Again, these are just my experiences.

Do you have an att watch/sim?

Not sure what changed, but mine is working fine now. Even through the Textra app. I can receive and send texts and make phone calls.
