I've been using 'Up Next!' For the last week. Syncs nicely with iCloud Reminders and can use Siri to add new items. Gruber mentioned it a couple weeks back.
Got a tip for us?

I think that Up Next beats out Reminders Nano on two fronts. First, if you're just using the app for grocery shopping on your watch, you can set your shopping list as the default list and then render all other lists invisible in the settings tab on your iPhone. Also, adding grocery items from the watch is a bit easier on Up Next. There's an arrow icon to touch and bring up voice dictation. On Reminders Nano you have to force touch the screen and then you have another choice: new item or show completed. For these 2 features I favor Up Next.
I've been using AnyList on my phone, but they have no idea when they may have a watch app. Thanks for the recommendations in this thread. Trying out Bring now, like it so far.
Bring by far is the best, all of my family uses the app. They can quickly update it over the cloud. I highly recommend it.
This is why I like Up Next (and, to a lesser extent, Reminders Nano). They sync with iCloud so by using Siri to add items to a Reminders list those items automatically show up in those apps.
Yep, I noted that above also...I've switched to using the Fantastical Watch app for Grocery List/Reminders. Its a little more refined. But I had already purchased Fantastical previously.
OneList is still great for a free option.
Do you mean on the watch or on the phone?
There's no issue adding things using Siri on the watch, I do it in my app.
I'll welcome Reminders (my preferred app for grocery and other lists) when it's finally on the watch, but I'm pretty sure I'll still use it on my iPhone while shopping. I carry a hand basket rather than push a cart and the watch is a two-handed operation. I don't want to be that guy asking Siri to mark fiber supplement or hemorrhoid cream as complete.
Does Siri even mark list items complete on the Watch?
But if you like Reminders on the iphone (which I do too) you should check out Reminders Nano. It's really what Reminders on the Watch would be if Apple had created it.
Yes, but if you have your basket held in your watch hand, it leaves the other hand free to use the crown to scroll through the list. You should be able to tap on items to mark complete. (that's my plan anyways)
afaik, Siri can only add items but I'm thinking ahead to a future Siri when Reminders app is on the watch.

So far been using Bring! but OurGroceries have said they may consider an AW version in the future.
The advantage for me of a grocery app is the categorisation, so I see (for example) all the fruit and veg first as that's first in the supermarket.
Bring does need to move checked off items to the bottom of the list on the watch and downsize this icons for it to be more usable. Ended up using the iPhone app again this weekend and invariably dropped the phone face first onto the floor (again). No (further) damage done at least..
