How do I delete unwanted iWatch app?
Apple does it again. Installed iWatch app without my permission during upgrade to iOS8.2. Didn't they learn from the last debacle with the unwanted music album? How do I get rid of it?
iPhone 6, iOS 8.2

No.
Not any way that Apple will allow to discussed here that is for sure.
Any progress on this issue? I just updated my wife's iP5 to IOS 8 and got an earful. I can't blame her really since one of the appeals of IOS is the lack of mfg and carrier bloatware that you get otherwise and then here you go, Apple adding more unwanted bloatware without an option to remove it. I wish I would have noticed before she did and I would have hid it in a folder with the other rarely (if ever) used apps. Apple did provide a way to remove the forced U2 download, so hope springs eternal. She didn't react so strongly to the Fitness app so this probably has more to do with exhaustion from Apple's iWatch media onslaught than anything. Sign of the times I suppose.

No, there isn't any "progress" on the issue, nor is there likely to be other than accepting that there is a new app in iOS related to Apple Watch integration.

I am sure once they sell enough watches they will then give users an option to remove or hide the app like using restrictions or something. It's just simple marketing, many user are going to buy one regardless but some will buy one simply because the app in the phone
I have no idea where you came up with that one. So far Apple has not done that with any of their other apps that were part of iOS so why should they start now?
When you download new software, you agree to the terms and conditions.
Done deal.

Seriously?
So you're trlling me doesn't allow users to hide stock apps? Here's a list of stpick iOS apps you can hide using restrictions safari, camera, FaceTime, iTunes store, and podcasts. If you didn't know you could hide these stock iOS apps well now you know. I'm sure watch will be in there soon.
Yes. It's called marketing.
My thought exactly. If someone buys a several hundred dollar watch simply because they have an app on their phone . . . well . . . I have a bridge I am trying to sell.
No, its an app.
This is marketing: http://www.apple.com/watch/
No one is going to spend that kind of money because an app appears on the phone. Except maybe you, if you are really as completely clueless as you sound.
TThere are many forms of marketing and simply putting an app on a phone is a type of marketing.
