I realized today that my Apple Watch is not showing up in my iCloud account. For example, I can't find it in the "Find My" app, and my I can't ask Siri on my watch to find my iPhone (it tells me "You're not signed into iCloud" and directs me to sign in from the Settings app of my iPhone). Of course, I *am* signed into my iCloud account on my iPhone, and I can see my other devices and friends there. I just can't see my Apple Watch.

My Apple Watch and iPhone appear to be paired properly otherwise. I can use the Watch app on my iPhone to change the watch face. And on my watch, if I use the Control Panel setting to ping my iPhone, that works, too.
 
Check in the Watch app on the phone that you are signed into iCloud properly there (not in the settings app on the phone, in the watch app itself: it’s under general > Apple ID).

I looked around in there before but didn't see anything. I actually just reset my watch altogether and am in the process of re-pairing it and setting it up as a new watch (rather than restoring from a backup). So hopefully that will fix whatever broke.
