Can I download apps onto my Apple Watch without them appearing on my iPhone

Every time I download an app on my Apple Watch it downloads to my phone. Is there any way I can have it just on the watch?

Apple Watch Series 5, watchOS 6

Apps on the Watch must also appear on the iPhone. That is how they are loaded.
