Comex, the enterprising hacker behind a number of high-profile iOS jailbreaks such as JailbreakMe.com, has seemingly managed to get a Web browser to run on the Apple Watch. As you can probably imagine, the one-inch screen of the Apple Watch isn't the best way to experience your favourite websites. There's a video embedded below of Comex poking around the Google homepage on his Apple Watch.
The Apple Watch, by virtue of its tiny screen, has a very different interface from Apple's other mobile devices. While it hasn't been confirmed by Apple, a third-party developer has stated that Apple Watch OS 1.0 is based on iOS 8.2—but instead of running Springboard (which displays the iPhone and iPad home screen), the Watch runs a front-end launcher called Carousel.
Comex hasn't given any details about his Apple Watch hack, but presumably the underlying version of iOS contains a Web browser (perhaps for debugging purposes) that he somehow managed to launch. Another possibility is that managed to side-load some kind of Web browser app onto the Watch.
