I have an AW for a few years now and was somewhat following the Apps trend, to my best understanding it's not about HW limitations, ease of development or number of users but simply the lack of usability. Companies pulled out of AW because they found out that there is no reason for a watch-app. The screen is too small, feedback is limited by nature etc.

  on the older AWs everything went through the phone, and AFAIK even today for most things you still need the an application on the phone to do the heavy lifting- so analytics still looks possible
