In a van down by the river
Don't know how often I will actually surf the web on my series 7 but, I thought it might be fun to share a few pics of using MR on my watch. I was able to do this using an app called uBrowser.

You can create bookmarks with the app on the phone, which is a lot easier. As a test, I loaded YouTube (which worked) but the browser can't play the videos. I haven't run into a site yet, that the browser can't load.

Interesting, does it work on cellular too? And what are the page load times? Not sure how practical this really is but good to know you can.

Wow! That's pretty cool. I wonder how Instagram would look like.

Thank you for sharing.

Also, posted on here by 9to5Mac.

Just downloaded it. I had a hard time finding it (with the mu in front) until I came across the 9to5Mac article with the link to the App Store. Was searching for ubrowser. Now I have to remember it’s alphabetized in the library by “m” and not “u” for the iPhone companion app but way at the bottom in the Watch list view lol.

Actually great in a pinch - let me check who replied what quickly on my wrist itself.
 
I've loaded several bookmarks on my phone to access on the watch and it works really well. The only thing that is irritating is the sign-in prompt. Oh well, it's still a really cool feature to have on the AW.

I also like that as an example, when you're viewing a page and select an article to read you can swipe from left to right to get back to the main page although on Yahoo, you have to hit the Yahoo back button to get back to the main page. I've only loaded a few webpages so far, but those areas that require passwords, a key will popup so that you can access your saved internet passwords to allow for login.
