How to stop my Apple Watch Series 4 from automatically playing audio

I followed the instructions on this thread, but I don't even have a "wake up" option under the General tab in my settings - I listen to lots of audio books and this makes my watch battery quickly run down. Is there anything else I can do?

How do I turn off the auto launch of audio controls on new Apple watch 7/ios 8 On my series 5 apple watch I was able to turn off the auto launch of audio controls by doing the following :Watch App > Settings > General > Wake Screen,> turning off Auto-Launch Audio Apps. With the new watch and software update that option and series of menus is not available. Am I able to turn off this function. I hate having the audio controls auto launch. Thank you.

Watch When I am listening to audible, my Apple Watch is running with audible. How do I change that or block audible from my watch? I listen to audible for several hours, and it seems to drain the battery on the watch.
