Saurik (Jay freeman) and developer Adam Bell and Steve Troughton-Smith have hacked watch OS 2 to run Native apps on it. 9to5Mac told the web as Troughton-Smith posted a video last night showing the proof. Apple told in WWDC that Native Apple support is coming to Watch OS, But that native will not be what developers are looking for. The logic code now runs on the watch, but raw access to the user interface is still not allowed on watchOS 2.
This means frameworks like UIKit cannot be used to draw truly custom UI. Instead developers must rely on the same techniques employed with current WatchKit apps that revolve around image sequences to create more interesting effects.
The hack is very a hope for Jailbreak of Apple Watch, its not obvious that its not the jailbreak. The team didn't reveal how they made it or any further detail.

A anti-theft feature from Apple available in all iDevices, As Apple Watch doesn't contain that i word so it does not have the Activation lock feature, but recently held WWDC unveiled the Watch OS 2 and it have that that anti-theft feature known as Activation lock.
Activation lock uses an Apple Id to start a new device and then the device relates to the that Apple Id and whenever some reset or reinstall the software so device require that Apple Id and password so the device could be set up otherwise there is no method to bypass it.
And previouly we seen that Users can hard rest Apple Watch and then they can easily pair it to any iPhone and there were no security measure to prevent from thiefs but theif can easily steal one and hard reset it and use it with any iPhone even if there is a password on Apple Watch.
But Apple writes " WatchOS 2 includes Activation lock, a new security feature," and the this feature will be available in the Apple Watch's companion App in iOS 9 this fall.
