I think it's just gone. Beta testers reported this as well. I'm surprised Apple didn't just make it an app you could dock if you wanted.

I hardly used it myself. I usually initiate a text to someone with "Hey Siri," but the friends wheel was useful when you wanted to quietly send someone a new text. Well... as long as it was a standard text. Now that Scribble is here I would probably use that Friends Wheel more often!

Apple transported it to the same layer of hell as the iPhone 7's headphone jack.
 
I miss this A LOT!!!! I miss that you cannot send messages from watch to watch only. Now they all go to the phone too. What's the best way to give Apple feedback??
 
Keep in mine that while it may have been a much used feature to you, for the vast majority it was just a 'dead' button in need of a purpose. The vast majority will likely see the Dock as useful.

I mainly miss the watch-to-watch only messaging. They couldn't moved it to repurpose the button but I wish the feature was still available.
