Q: How do you remove watch apps from the app layout?

Some apps, particularly third party apps, can be removed from the Apple Watch's app layout by turning off their "Show App on Apple Watch" setting.

 

But most (all?) of the Apple apps seem to be permanently installed. Is there a way to remove them, or at least hide them in the app layout?

 

I am never, ever, ever, going to check stock prices on my watch, and having apps like that (and Breathe, and Music) are taking up precious space on my app layout, making it harder to navigate to the apps I really want.

 

With iOS 10 allowing you to (finally!) remove unwanted Apple apps from the iPhone/iPad, I'm surprised there's no way of doing this on the Watch, where springboard real estate is far more precious.
