I just downloaded the Xcode 6 GM, and I'd like to see how my apps work with an Apple Watch connected to the simulated iPhone.
How can I simulate this new device on my MacBook?

Apple Watch Simulator. Apple's first smartwatch will be released early 2015 and this simulator lets you try out the main apps and functionality right in your browser. It is based on the official screenshots and descriptions from the Apple Watch page.
In Xcode, choose File > New > Project. Select the watchOS tab. To create a watch-only app, select “App” and click Next. To create a watchOS app bundled with an iOS app, select “iOS App with Watch App” and click Next.
New->Target->Apple Watch->Watch App)iOS Simulator -> Hardware -> External displays and select any Apple Watch options'[your project] Watch App' target and RunHave fun! :)

Xcode 6.0 does not support development for Apple Watch.
Xcode 6.2 supports development using WatchKit. Check out the WatchKit Programming Guide which includes some examples and note issues reported in the Xcode 6.2 Beta Release Notes. Furthermore, be aware that most of the simulator issues mentioned in the Xcode 6.1 Release Notes still apply but were unfortunately omitted from the 6.2 notes.
Xcode does not support development of native apps for Apple Watch, but it was announced as coming in 2015.
