Switch off music notification on Apple Watch

Hi. Whenever I am playing music on my phone or HomePod mini, I am getting a notification of what is playing on my Apple Watch. Is there a way to stop this notification please, as it seems to drain my watch battery


Many thanks

Apple Watch Series 7, watchOS 10

On your Apple Watch go to Settings/General/Autostart/ and make check, that "Auto-Launch Audio Apps" is disabled.

Also make sure, that the "Now Playing" app has been closed on your Apple Watch, and you did not add a complication for Now Playing to your Watch Face.
