Disable music controls on watch

This new "feature" of auto opening music controls on watch when playing music on the phone is horrid and a serious regression in usability. How the **** can I disable it? I do not sync music to my watch and when I am at my desk or driving and go to look at my watch, I want to see my watch. I am almost to the point of not wearing it anymore.

Go to the watch app on your phone, settings, general, wake screen and turn off “auto launch audio apps”.

Thank you! I looked for quite awhile and was about to smash the thing with a hammer and go Apple Care the thing!
