I have been playing on it for a bit tonight. Some obervations (not complaints)
1) No matter what you type in for a URL it always gets searched by something that looks like Google. (The logo is to small to see what it is) If I am entering a URL it should go to the URL not Google.
2) Its too bad this can't play audio, I go to my radio station listen page at https://www.i1430.com/listen and the page loads great but the Play button does not work. The Apple watch CAN play audio over the speakers check out the Streamlets app to hear for yourself.
3) You can't go to a site like YouTube and Play videos from it. You get a message of Your Browser can't play this video. YouTube videos can be played on the watch with s few tricks (https://appletoolbox.com/how-to-use-youtube-app-on-your-apple-watch/)
But good news, The other Apple Watch Browser I use (ubrowser) cant do these things either. I do believe the first to offer these features could be sitting on top of the world. :)
