One suspects the face won't be big enough to handle all the functions.... but a (relatively) simple RPN calculator app wouldn't be a bad thing!

It's also worth noting that the Apple Watch won't run applications locally on the watch, it'll just display UI on the watch, and run the code on the phone.

A 4-banger 4-level RPN machine on a touchscreen watch would be quite handy, though. (I thought about how to do UI for a 4-banger RPN calc on Pebble, and ultimately decided against it, though, because of the lack of a touchscreen. Slide rule could be interesting, though - launch it, and you have control of the C scale with the arrow keys, line it up with the D scale, then hit enter to switch to moving the cursor, and back to move back to the C scale (and back again to exit). And, an advanced mode could give more than just the basic C and D scales.)
