A well known Hackers community Comex had recently hacked in to Apple Watch's Watch OS  and run a browser on it.

The is showing a person's hand managing Google search engine home page on a small display of Apple Watch. Apple Watch does not come with a Safari browser and you cannot install Safari by any ordinary mean. The video shows a fully working Web Browser on it.

More important thing is that the Watch could run arbitrary codes on it. It seems like the first step forward to " jailbreak" of the Apple's Apple Watch But yet Comex has not shown any hint/trail to come out with a jailbreak soon and also did not reveal the details of this hack.

As we have seen they are not revealing it:

@comex if you're willing to share, how did you get the browser on Apple Watch?

The videos shows the iOS like User Interface, Copy/define contextual menu, they seem like the power of the Software behind the Watch OS. As we have already told you Apple Watch's Watch OS 1.0 is actually the version of iOS 8.2 that runs a custom front-end layer to display the device-specific UI, called Carousel (Springboard is the iPad/iPhone equivalent).

To make more prove Comex has shown then iOS dictionary view on that Apple Watch's small screen. Apple has Launched a SDK just for Apple Watch to let developers widely make that Apps for Apple Watch not just a extensioned iPhone App.

Apple said native third-party Watch apps are coming “later this year”. Many have took this to mean an announcement at WWDC, which runs from June 8th to June 12th.

What you expect ?
