Open the Watch app on your iPhone.
Under the My Watch tab, tap Cellular.

Under Cellular Plan, you will see the name of your provider. Tap the info icon.
Since I have T-Mobile, I tap Manage T-Mobile Account. You may see something else depending on your cellular network provider.

Next to Watch Line, you will see your Apple Watch phone number.

Fun Fact: Do Apple Watches need SIM cards? No! They have eSIMs just like newer iPhones which means that if you haven't already set up your cellular plan, you can do so instantly by calling your provider or by going through the Watch app on your iPhone.
