How to use Do Not Disturb on Apple Watch

The idea of Do Not Disturb, as the name suggests, is to allow your Apple Watch to continue collecting notifications without actually notifying you. That might sound strange, but if you're asleep, in a meeting, at the movies, or otherwise in a place where you don't want noise or haptics to bother you, but don't want a list of everything you might have missed in the meantime, Do Not Disturb on Apple Watch is just what you need.
