They hack the Apple Watch to surf the internet

One of the most controversial hackers directly related to the Jailbreak for iOS devices, is undoubtedly Comex. This hacker usually does excellent work related to the world of jailbreak on iOS devices, but after 'a tantrum' he stopped sharing them with and from time to time he boasts of running Cydia (tweak store necessary for the use of the Jailbreak) on your iOS devices without actually releasing it to the general public, that is, without sharing your work with anyone.

Well, this same hacker has just bypassed all the watch's security barriers and shows in a video how an Apple Watch is capable of using its own browser, something that it cannot be done in any of the ways without bypassing the security measures Of the device.

In addition @comex explains on his twitter account: 

The operating system of the watch is based on UIKit, but the SDK does not allow to execute any native code. And the next sentence is, I always wanted to have a web browser on my wrist

Create a new code or perform a kind of jaibreak Taking advantage of the exploits of the clock's new operating system is what this controversial scene hacker could have achieved. If we talk about usability or advantages of having the jailbreak in this small watch, it is still not clear to me the possible use or advantage, but it is evident that the dimensions of the watch even in 42mm measurements make browsing Google an experience somewhat 'bad'. 

Surely this hack of the Apple Watch will have other uses and the most important is that the system cracks end up coming to Apple and it closes all that it can. We will stay tuned.

    My Apple Watch is locked and large letters are visible. The iPhone does not recognize it, I don't know what to do
