I did the new update, and I no longer have the ability to swipe up and silence my watch from there. I have to go to settings and silence it that way, which is several steps. Is there a shorter way to silence my watch?

Apple Watch SE, watchOS 10
I do not like this change. I used find my iphone and silent mode several times everyday. It needs to be an option that I don't want the calendar on the swipe up, I want those widgets back.

Since you upgraded to watchOS 10 access to the Control Center, and has changed. You will find the "silence" icon using the following advice.
"Open or close Control Center
Nope. That action is caused by pressing the Digital Crown.
Get to Control Center by pressing the other button, the elliptical “Side Button”.

The previous Control Center swipe-up has moved to a quick press and release of the flat oval side button
Use Control Center on Apple Watch - 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...

Apple does not read this user-to-user technical support forum for feedback.
But you can send Apple feedback via:
If enough users send feedback, it is more likely a decision maker will see it, and maybe take action.

Me either now how can I get it back. I use the mute and or silence button a lot but see calendar on phone so don’t need that when I slide up
The solution is posted above. Read the thread thoroughly and carefully.
I just swiped up to use the iPhone ping and it was gone. I use the swipe up so often for muting, movies, finding phone.
