Or you can actually jaiobreak the Apple Watch in order to add more options hence the way iPhone has been doing this for so long now it's the watches turn.

I've done jailbreaks which I have now but it has its flaws with battery and performance. Just imagine the slowness with a jailbreak?

The concept of jailbreaks has been done for decades. It shall be done one day but this guy brings a point. Lots of people complain about battery drainage within iPhones.

Did I forget to mention there's one that involves the watch running OS X?

No there isn't. You're thinking about an Apple Watch running pre-X system, probably 7 or 9.

So? That's not OS X.

This is pretty much what I was trying to say but still, it can be hacked to run more things.

Nice I've been waiting for this. I hope they make it so you can use your own background behind watch faces with hands though. I made my own square shaped watch face for my Apple Watch but can't use it yet cus you can use a photo behind the other clocks with hands. It was a pretty dumb design choice not letting us do that if you ask me.
