Unfortunately, you won't see which app is receiving it. Under Location you will see if it is being received or just requested. If your phone is disconnected and your watch is connected to Wi-Fi, you'll see the name of the Wi-Fi network. If you tap on the smaller icons, you'll see this screen with larger icons and more information. You can learn more about location tracking here. If you only see the outline of the arrow, then the location will be shared if requested by an app. If the arrow is filled in blue, that means that an app is actively receiving your location.
