I have the latest watch OS. In the past I could swipe up on the watch face and see the battery status ring but a past OS update must have changed that.

Apple Watch Series 8, watchOS 11

Pushing the button brings up what I believe are the widgets, images to push to do certain tasks such as timer, EEG, exercise recording, etc.
