Bot Watch is an unofficial iPhone and Apple Watch companion for Bot status, one-tap approvals, and short tasks. This is not an xAI product and is not the official Grok Bot app. You do not need a computer. Install Bot Watch on iPhone. Tap Start using Bot Watch or Try the demo. Bots and approvals load on this iPhone. If an Apple Watch is already paired with that iPhone, Bot Watch appears on the wrist. You do not scan the Watch. You do not type a Watch code. What you can do on the Watch: - See which Bots are idle, running, or waiting - Approve, reject, or park a request without opening a full draft - Dictate a short instruction - Complications, Smart Stack, and Control Center when something is waiting On iPhone: Live Activity and Dynamic Island for the latest pending card. Ask a Bot from the toolbar. Full threads stay on iPhone. The Watch stores summaries only. Reviewers: tap Try the demo on iPhone. Demo Bots load immediately. No password. No Local Network or camera prompt on that path.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Bot Watch at none against X Speed Reader's 3. Bot Watch also leads on update cadence (daily vs every 5 days). X Speed Reader's advantage is iOS requirement (15.1 vs 26.0). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
