I recently updated to 10.6. Now when I swipe up Ward, I get my calendar. I have twice rebooted the watch and it has not affected the problem. I’ve looked in the Watch app and haven’t seen anything that suggests that I should change something to make this work again. Help.
Apple Watch, watchOS 4
The previous Control Center swipe-up has moved to a quick press and release of the flat oval side button
Set up Find My on all your devices - Apple Support
DO NOT hold the button, as that brings up Emergency services and the power off icon.
Control Center should then show you the iPhone ping icon (find my iPhone), Battery percentage, Flashlight, Water Lock, Airplane mode, Alarm silence, Theater mode, and all the other Control Center services.
An alternate way to get some of the Control Center services is:
“Hey Siri, find my iPhone”
“Hey Siri, Flashlight”
“Hey Siri, Battery”
“Hey Siri, Airplane mode”
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.
Apple Watch -> Settings -> Accessibility -> AssistiveTouch can be used to access things like:
o Control Center
o Apple Pay
o Emergency Services and the Power Off icon (labeled “Hold Side Button”)
o and many other things...

I've noticed the same thing, only I don't even get my calendar. Swiping up does nothing.
Also, even though I went into settings on my watch and toggled "right/left swipe" on, it isn't working. The only "swipe" that works is swiping down to see my notifications.
