Different notification privacy in phone and watch possible?

Hi,


Is it possible to keep notifications in phone private until unlocked but not like that in watch? I have kept my phone notification setting to be private until phone is unlocked but the phone is always in my wrist. But I still have to tap the notification before i can see the messages and others. Is there a way to avoid that? If not, why isn't there an option like this till now?
