But just because you can do something, should you? A browser on a screen this small is not much use. Apple recognized this and left such tasks to the iPhone to which it is linked. The progress here is not in getting a browser to run on a watch. That's just a stunt, which helps to get the progress noticed. But the actual advance is in jail-breaking the watch.
With the path now shown, expect others to produce more appropriate non-Apple watch apps.

It's not jailbroken. . . they just downloaded a browser onto it. Not a big deal. As I mentioned, the Apple Watch is designed to install Apps and is not particularly locked down. Putting the app on the watch was a simple as putting the browser app in the folder for auto download in to the Watch.

Android had a watch app years ago. Apple is just a “me too” johnny come lately.
