Watch notifications and haptics

I want my Apple Watch to nudge me with a short haptic when I receive a Message, but I do not want the watch to display the name of the person who sent the message- even when I rotate the watch face up. I want to be able to open the Notification Center or the messenger app on the watch to view the sender and the message. I don’t want anyone else around me to be able to see who is sending me messages. Is this possible?
