Apple Watch failing to activate

I am getting a 'something went wrong' activation loop on a brand-new Apple Watch Ultra 4 bought directly from Xfinity. I’ve reached out 3 times to Xfinity to get help to resolve this but basic troubleshooting has not worked.

Hi there, @user_x40k4e! Congratulations on getting the Apple Watch Ultra 4! Excited to get that activated and working for you! This link shows how to activate the device, https://www.xfinity.com/support/articles/how-to-activate-apple-watch. Where in the process are you seeing the error message? Do you get through pairing and it is during cellular activation?

I purchased the Apple Watch Ultra 4 from Apple on September 18. I have cycled through phone calls, chat support, and a store visit without resolution. The problem does not appear to be the watch itself but rather something tied to the Xfinity network.
