Single-handed new notification dismissal

Is there a way to dismiss a new notification on the Apple Watch single-handedly (like a shake gesture or something)? Many times I'm wearing gloves when a new notification comes in and need to dismiss it promptly to get back to the home watch face so I can see the second hand on the watch face.

Apple Watch Series 4, watchOS 5

Thank you for the quick reply! Unfortunately, the article doesn't address my need. I'd like to see the notification when it arrives, but I'd like to find a way to dismiss it quickly and single-handedly (like shaking the wrist or something). With gloves on, I can't really touch the watch face or the crown to dismiss the notification quick enough. Thank you though!
