One of my favorite watch apps. Has good complications and a useful watch app. Also believe it was free.
My problem with WaterMinder is that it doesn’t send me reminders like I set it up.. so it’s basically useless for me.
I’ll second Carrot Weather. So customizable for the Watch.
Other great apps:
- Transit
- Things
- Breathable
- Drafts

If you'd like to have accurate information about the moon, Geneva Moon is the one to get. Apple moon complication doesn't show the true representation of the moon on the day/night.
And if you want to set your goal for something, anything. Says.. to have 6 glasses of water a day, to walk 3 miles a day etc. Streak is the app you should get. It works well with Siri Shortcuts and also has watch app that works great.

Blackjack - Vegas Casino Real
The most casino-authentic game play of any Blackjack app on the App Store. Free chips. Big cards. Basic Strategy advice. Configure table rules to match major casinos (Pro). Great for learning, practice or just play for fun! Developer welcomes feedback, suggestions and bug reports.

ESPN
MLB
MyQ Garage control

FinessAI
StepsApp Pedometer (I know, there are tons of these, but this is the best of the best!)
AnyList is great.
My favorite app (when it works!) is Audible. Listening to an audiobook when I walk or jog in the pool—with just my Watch—is magical.
Outcast is an amazing stand-alone podcast app - you can also import OPML on the iPhone to get you started.
Audible is also really good except you have to sync from the phone still.
I also love Broadcasts - it’s for live streaming Ice cast servers so I can from the watch tune into Relay.fm and Twit.tv when they are live - when doing this on cellular be prepared for some fast battery drain though! Incredible that this can be done.
Chirp is my favorite Twitter client for the watch.

It’s decades since I last heard reference to a RPN calculator. Takes me back to university days (mid 70’s!)
For free streaming music, news, sports independent of iPhone I like iHeart and Streamlets Apps.
I use the native Home App frequently to manage doors, cameras, lights, and garage door.
Others I use Frequently:
Weather Mate Pro
Authy
Speedcheck
Speedtracker
My Hurricane Tracker Pro
Magic Guide WDW
Lexus
Duo

I just took a quick look at Endel. The developers sure collect a lot of information they really don't need to be collecting from a user. It is also expensive at $60 a year and $249 lifetime.
The pricing has increased since I first started using it, out of interest which info are you referring to? I should probably take more notice of these things!
