It seems like standards can be a bit relaxed when you are submitting an app that aligns with Apple's strategy.

I don't think it's that. Perhaps they put the Apple watch release date as the app's release date and they rushed it through at the last minute.

Though I really don't see how the first one, with an iPhone app that is just a blank screen, got through.

My thinking is that if you want to say you have thousands of apps on launch day, but barely any developers have run their apps on real hardware, you have to relax your standards a bit, and figure it will work its way out in a month or two.

Normal turn-around time on app approval is about 7 days for us. When we added watch support in our last release, it was done in 2 days.
