I don't like to use 1 because it takes up space because i am often away from a charger so I like to keep the battery at view...I was wondering does the apple watch notify you when the battery is low at a certain percentage?

Yes, it makes a very distinctive vibration that's hard to miss. I think at 10% left, but I'm not sure about that number.
 
No problem! You can also swipe up the control center to see the battery%. I have the battery% at the top of control center so I can see it immediately.

10% is correct.

I keep my battery percentage in the lower left corner of my watch face.

I do have the battery % in the top left corner of my face.
I do not use sleep tracking, charge the watch overnight.
And I will say, for me displaying the % has. become not useful. For the first year or so I could go through 2 days before charging and towards the end of the 2nd day it was helpful to know where the % is, but, since I think around watchOS 7 I have put my watch on the charger overnight and I always end up around 50% +/-5 or so at the end of the day. Havn't seen the low percentage alert in at least a year if not longer.

That makes a lot of sense and avoids this modern illness we call battery anxiety. I think I’ll do the same.

I also do not need it and I know it is only one swipe away but I tried living without the complication. I could not. Makes me nervous. Also using juice battery for controlling iPhone battery.
Bottom left on Infograph is the used place for years.
 
I have it on one face.
Same. My "Workout" watch face, Automation sets this first thing in the morning. And since I usually workout first thing in the morning, I get an idea if I need to put the watch on the charger for a bit before getting the workout in.

Watch rarely gets below 30%, have a battery widget on the phone, so the battery complication is not needed.
 
Nope. Don’t give me another point of anxiety. The battery easily runs full day with 40-50% surplus.
