I do the same.

I have almost all notifications disabled on my watch (well, on my phone and computer too, be even more sparse on my watch). I'm used to screening calls via my watch anyway, so it's automatic to reject them. I could answer (or make) an emergency call, or even send a text, but it's so inconvenient, unpleasant, and public to do so via my watch that there is little desire to. I don't carry my airpods so it's just the tiny watch speaker and microphone vs the sounds of outdoors. No podcasts, music, audio books or anything.
