Swipe up to get the Control Center has moved to a quick press and release of the flat oval side button (see picture)
Use Control Center on Apple Watch - Apple Support
The iPhone ping icon is still there. If you do not see the iPhone ping icon, scroll to the end, and trap "Edit" where you can add Control Center services and reorder the services so the ones you like are near the front of the display.
DO NOT hold the button, as that will bring up the Emergency services display.
Settings -> Accessibility -> Side Button Click Speed “Side Button Click Speed” can adjust the press and release timing, so you get the Control Center display every time. Adjusting The "Side Button Click Speed" is also useful for Apple Pay’s double press and release. There is “Default” (sub second timing of needed), “Slow” (up to a second between press and release), and “Slowest” (up to 2 seconds between press and release). I like the “Slow” setting. NOTE: Slow and Slowest settings do not mean you have to wait a full second or 2 seconds between press and release. It just means you do not need to be super fast.
