I purchased an Apple Watch and for the life of me can’t figure out how to display the URL on it. Any suggestions?

Try this...
  1. Email a URL to yourself.
  2. Open the email on your Watch.
  3. Touch the hyperlink.
Safari will take a moment to load, then hopefully run the web page.

EDIT: this link describes an alternate method using the Blue Iris SMS action.

UI3 URLs used to open just fine, but I just tried it and got this

Other URLs are working just fine.

BTW, the iOS Pushover app supports the Apple Watch.
On your iPhone, open the Watch app. Add Pushover.

HOWEVER, when the Watch receives a Pushover notification, I'm noticing that the 'Hi-Res' and 'UI3' links are not active.
The URLs work just fine when tapped in the iPhone Pushover app.

On a slightly different note, and courtesy of another forum, this just popped up as a method for locally storing single alert images which seemed to be a desired feature earlier in this thread. I believe this particular feature was from a request to separate a single confirmed alert image from non-confirmed images for FTP and/or local folder storage vs. the BI directory structure and default method.

Thought it may come in handy for Pushover image manipulation as well if something similar hasn't already been conjured up.
