I would like more information about Safari being available on Apple Watch.

Normally I'd think it's inclusion was an accident or oversight, but it's mentioned at both the top and the bottom of the article.

Not a standalone browser app, but if I tap a link in say the watchOS Mail app, it'll display a web view. Developers can optimize their site for the watch display. It might sound crazy but it's useful for glancing at brief information on the web.
Siri can also show web results on watch. I believe the News app uses WebView as well.
Exactly this. It’s not full Safari, more of a way to not dead end when someone messages you a link and you look at the message on your watch.
