Well-known Cydia developers, Steve Troughton-Smith , Adam Bell Founder and Cydia, Jay Freeman aka Saurik Have successfully hacked the Apple Watch on watchOS 2 to run UIKit & SceneKit apps on the device. At its WWDC 2015 Keynote, Apple Announced watchOS 2 for Apple Watch, Which will allow third-party apps to run natively on the device for better performance. However, even though the logic code for the Watch my runs on the Apple Watch and they've access to the Digital Crown, microphone, Taptic engine, and health sensors, they're restricted as to use WatchKit Have developers to define interfaces. They can not use upper and UIKit frameworks like SceneKit in the Watch apps like iPhone apps.
As you can see in the video below They managed to get an interactive 3D object running on the Apple Watch powered by Apple's SceneKit framework. Steve Explains That I picked SceneKit as "it is an example of something you can not do through the WatchKit".

This is not the first time Apple has been hacked Watch. Comex, HAD well-known hacker hacked the device to run a web browser .
Update:
