Watch Web Browser is a web browser for Apple Watch. Search the web, open your bookmarks and jump to your Top Sites from your wrist, with an iPhone companion app to get you started. SEARCH Type a site and it opens, or type a question and search. Keyword shortcuts pick the engine: >g banana searches Google for "banana", and >b searches Bing. TOP SITES Your most-visited websites appear on the watch home screen for one-tap access. Visit counts are saved on your watch and cleared whenever you clear history. BOOKMARKS AND FAVORITES Save a page as a bookmark, add tags to find it faster, and keep your favorite sites one tap away.
