I’ve been having this issue as well. I’m also on Pandora Premium. Apple Watch series 5, OS 7.2. iPhone 11 Pro Max, iOS 14.3. Background app refresh is on. Memory on watch is 23gb. Pandora app is up to date. Same message: Pandora will sync when located near phone. Ive tried all the troubleshooting all day and nothing had worked. It was frustrating because I had downloaded stations but downloaded more and noticed my watch wasn’t picking up the newly downloaded stations. Thinking I had done something wrong, I went forward and started the troubleshooting, which was to uninstall the app..after reinstalling all the downloaded stations were gone. Again, feeling as I had done something terribly wrong I continued searching for a solution. It has been troublesome but in a way I’m glad I’m not the only one out there struggling with this. I hope a solution is found soon. I as well have been on Pandora for a long time and would hate to switch but I do need the music for work..no cell reception and phones are not allowed after a certain point. Again, I’d hate to end it for an issue that wasn’t an issue a few months ago.
