How do I get rid of the Apple Watch ad that's just appeared as an app icon on my iPhone 6 Plus?

Ad for Apple Watch has just appeared on my iPhone 6 Plus (iOS 8.3)--how do I get rid of it? Holding the button down to get jiggly app icons doesn't help--it doesn't have a Delete "x"; neither does it appear as an app in settings. I'm a bit unhappy about this appearing unbidden, out of the blue. If I want ads/demos, I'll download them. No call for pushing them onto my phone.

iPhone 6 Plus, iOS 8.3, Apple Watch ad

Put it into a folder of apps you don't use. Put all the ones you can't delete into it.

You cannot delete the iWatch app as it is part of the operating system. Put it and any others that you do now want or need in a folder on the last screen of the phone--out of sight, out of mind!

It's not an ad/demo. It's the app needed to use the Apple Watch with your iphone. Like all apps that are part of the iOS, it can't be deleted.
