CommaSurf

Browse the web on your Apple Watch easily! - Unified URL/search bar - Changeable search engine - Searchable history* - Bookmarks that you can name - Favicons ...and more! Make sure that the webview that the app uses supports the website you want to use. You can test that by asking Siri on your watch to open a website for you. If the webview that comes up displays the website fine and all necessary functions work, you're good to go with this app as well, since it uses the same webview. *The history only saves pages that have been directly opened from the app

Mini browser for the Watch. Features of the Watch app: - Visit your favorite websites on the watch - Keyword search via popular search engines - Quick search from complications - Search or browsing history - Favorite websites - Offline website snapshots (requires the iPhone app) Features of the iPhone app: - Create website snapshot then sync to the watch for offline browsing or add as favorite P.S. Spider mini doesn't need the iPhone app to run, it works independently on the watch with WiFi or Cellular connection. However we've built an iPhone helper app (the companion app of the watch app) which you may find useful.

Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: Spider mini at every 9 days against CommaSurf's every 20 months. Spider mini also leads on price ($1.99 vs $4.99). On ads, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
