Comex Shows Off Hacked Apple Watch Running Mobile Safari

The Apple Watch has many great features, which extend a user's iPhone to the wrist, taking away the need to fish the larger device from a pocket or purse. While the Apple Watch can do things like check the weather, display text messages, among other things, the Watch should never be used for browsing the web.

That is however exactly what popular Jailbreak developer Comex did over the weekend. Comex posted this video via his Twitter account, showing a hacked Apple Watch running mobile Safari. Don't get too excite, like we said, the Apple Watch shouldn't be used for web browsing, and this video proves that.

Comex shows off how Google's homepage works on the smartwatch. As you can probably tell, maneuvering around on the one-inch screen is far from delightful.

Folks looking into Apple Watch settings can see that all Watches are currently running a 1.0 firmware. However the Apple Watch firmware is essentially a tweaked version of iOS 8.3, meaning that getting mobile Safari to run probably didn't take too long.

The Apple Watch is still a brand new device, which has yet to see a Jailbreak. But if one can be achieved, what kinds of tweaks would you like to see?
