Try turning Off "Auto Launch Audio Apps" in the Watch app, My Watch, General, Wake Screen. No promises it will do exactly what you want, but worth a try.

I should have said, but that's my problem...I have that off and am still getting that stupid little status icon at random. It's not actually opening now playing, just that little icon at the top that you can tap and then it opens now playing. It's really not that big of a deal as long as now playing doesn't open, just annoying to me. Thanks for the thoughts.

I’d like to find an answer as well because I am wondering if this is a battery drain? I sleep with my watch on and listen to Slumber. I also see it when I’m streaming or in the car listening to a Podcast. I’m also seeing that the battery drains a bit faster than my Apple Watch 3. So anything I can do to eliminate things I do not need, I do. Like you it is annoying and I too have turned of what is necessary. Any positive solutions welcome.
