To open Control Center, touch and hold the bottom of the screen, then swipe up. The Cellular button turns green when you have a connection. The green bars show the signal strength. The Cellular button turns white when your cellular plan is active, but your watch is connected via Bluetooth or Wi-Fi to your iPhone.
