I believe you're partially onto something. The watch is the 4G LTE model, so it is intended to function as a standalone product... but, T-Mobile has two types of watch 4G LTE plans: paired and standalone.
They both get an assigned phone number, but the paired plan connects to the existing phone number, so calls and texts must be made using the primary number and cannot be made using the assigned number. The standalone plan allows the assigned number to function independently, so it's simply an additional phone number and calls and texts can made through it.
I purchased the paired plan, because I don't want yet another phone number. Now, I
think that the car is trying to use the assigned phone number on the watch for calls and isn't capable "understanding" the paired primary number.
