watchOS and Apple Watch Apps

After connecting my apple watch to my Iphone, all my notifications when my Iphone is locked went to my apple watch, i removed apps that i do not need, but, there are some important notifications which i need to know them now,
for me, on Iphone, all notifications are on the screen, just awake my screen and can see what is going on, but on my apple watch, i must hit unread notifications and go to notofication center etc,
this is not useful concerning my door-bill or something similar- which needs a quick responce.
so, how can i decrease notifications on apple watch? and, how can i make notifications appear on my watch whithout going to the notification center?

Hello,
You can turn the notifications on the Apple Watch on or off for each app in the Notifications section of the Watch app on your iPhone.
Here's how it works:
1. open the Watch app
2. select "Notifications"
3. look for the heading "Mirror iPhone notifications from:" and uncheck any apps from which you want to receive notifications only on your iPhone.

If the app is also natively on the Apple Watch, you'll find the settings for it in the list just after the options in the notifications section of the Watch app.
Here's how it works:
1. open the Watch app
2. select "notifications"
3. select the app for which you want notifications to be displayed only on the iPhone
4. instead of "Mirror my iPhone", select "own".
5. now in the same view, instead of "Allow notifications", select "Notifications off"
