After recent apple watch updates, control center is not available via side button, as per new instructions. I have rebooted watch a couple of times. Did not help. Side button returns traditional functions Emergency ID, SOS, and power slide off.

It is a momentary press of the oval side button.


A long press brings up the power off, SOS, and emergency ID.
