1. Select you "... Watch App" Run it on iPhone 5 simulator and higher
(watch simulator not working with iPhone 4s)

2. Go to Hardware > External Displays > Select one of Watch external displays.

As a result you should see the log on the console from your WKInterfaceController WathcKit Extension

I have exactly same problem. I created a new project and added WatchKit extension in Xcode 6.2 beta 4 with WatchKit. I tried all ways mentioned in other answers but still failed to let watch app run in the simulator. Finally, I made it work.

My steps:

  1. Delete the containing app in the iPhone simulator.
  2. Clean your project in Xcode.
  3. Do not run the containing app, run the WatchKit app from Xcode.
