Thanks, but there was no green dot in the set of displays. On my watch it appears just where the notifications red dot would be, & is the same size, just green.

Okay, I'm glad you were able to figure it out. I had suggested a phone call earlier, so it is good you know that you have verified it.

Can you create a screenshot of the watch and post it here. I cannot find any indication of something like you describe. Maybe if I see it, I can better determine it. Everything published by Apple is what I have included for you.

It appears when I’m on the phone and I receive another call, as if to remind me someone is on hold.

You will see a number of different color icon dots at the top of the Apple Watch now with the newer watchOS. See this, Status icons and symbols on Apple Watch - Apple Support

You are sure there is nothing in it, such as the Activity app? And I believe when on the phone it shows green. I'm checking now. Yes, green with a small white phone receiver in it.
