How to turn off apple watch tap/haptic that it unlocked my phone

I was fine with the notification on my phone but annoyed at the haptic/tap on my phone. I don't need it and don't want it. Please provide an option where I don't get the buzz and can turn only that buzz off.

Apple Watch Series 8, watchOS 11

This is a security feature, but you could reduce the haptic feedback in the settings for Sound & Haptics on the watch or the WatchApp on your iPhone.
