Check battery level of watch?

Since the latest software update (10.2 I think) I cant figure out how to check the battery level of my apple watch.


I assume it's somewhere in settings but is there a quicker way to see it?

The previous Control Center swipe-up has moved to a quick press and release of the flat oval side button (See picture)

Use Control Center on Apple Watch - Apple Support


DO NOT hold the button, as that brings up Emergency services and the power off icon.

Getting the press and release timing just right can be an issue. You can make it more reliable by changing: 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.
