Waterlogged - and have been drinking more water like I'm supposed to be thanks to this app
Citibank
Wunderlist
Stocard - helps slim my wallet cause my reward cards are on my wrist and phone

Still early days for me 
, but so far...
- Things
- Dark Sky
- Overcast
- Activities (loving this so far)
Still looking for a water-encouragement app and I'd really like something to keep track of my steps in a glance, but I guess that's not happening until Apple allows the 3rd parties to access watch step data or allows some customizing of the activity app. I do like the activity tracking of the watch as it is, but I've been doing the "step" tracking thing so long, it'd be nice to have some overlap.

I did YourWater for a while. Actually grabbed when it was free. I'm liking Waterlogged more
Only had my Apple watch a couple of days, but so far (I have 7 too!):
Music
AppleTV Remote
Apple Workout
Activity Tracker
Parcel - great for package tracking!
Weather or DarkSky - still haven't decided on a favorite
Podcast v. Outcast - still working out a favorite
It shows the current conditions, then if you tap it, it will pull up the whole forecast for the day - swipe to the right to get the forecast for the next few days.

The main app has temp and forecast. But the rain, upcoming rain and such is my favorite notification on the watch. Now I haven't dug around to see about other notifications.
Dark sky is good. One of the most reliable 3rd party apps I have... and it has a good, reliable glance.
My only knock on it is that it doesn't show how the temperature is going to vary during the day. The iPhone App does a great job of that... hopefully they add in the future.
For that reason, I still use the built-in weather app quite a lot. If you didn't know it: you can touch the "wheel" in the built-in weather app to toggle between showing you the "weather", "temperature" and "precipitation likelihood"... all for the next 12 hours. It's a quick way to get a gauge of what the temperature is going to do through the day before heading out...
My top 5, in no particular order.
- BBC News
- Built-in weather app
- Easily (I don't care if it's mine, I use it lots)
- Around Me
- Sky View
(I'd say the watch face, but I doubt that counts)

I like the built-in weather app, I think it does a good job. On my phone I use Weather Pro but I hate their watch app so I just use the built-in one.

Calcbot (great as a tip calculator or quick converter)
Uber (Used it the other night, crazy simple)
MLB At Bat (glance)
AroundMe (Find bars and restaurant spots real quick with walking directions)
Shazam (surprisingly quick)

Non-Apple Apps:
NY Times (at least their Glance updates)
CNN (best content in the Watch app, but their Glance almost never updates)
Yelp (but trying Around Me also)
ESPN
Yahoo Weather (prefer it's Glance and app to the installed one. Wish you could do a complication for this app - maybe eventually)
Starbucks (do wish you could bring up Passbook with a double click of the side button instead of just Apple Pay's credit card)
Games:

I had already installed Yelp and based on the responses here I decided to try Around Me. Like the fact it has a lot more categories on the Watch than Yelp does, but one problem.
A lot of times - most often with Gas Stations - it is not even close to finding the nearest. (I live on Staten Island and it keeps telling me the closest is in New Jersey.) And the funny thing is the version of the app on my iPhone will find the stations nearby - not necessarily the closest, but much better than the Watch.)
