This does look like a nice app for watching YouTube video on an Android Wear smartwatch. The Chromecast casting feature looks pretty good.

It irks me when I watch anything on a screen smaller than 18 inches, that would irk me greatly that I would rush home to watch a video.

I sometimes sit closer to small screens on tablets, handheld consoles, smartphones, and smaller screen laptops which make the video easier to watch. 

I bet, holding this smartwatch closer to your face, would make the screen look bigger.

I think some types of video like a video of a clock's face, moving animated eye ball, moving mouth and spinning wheel  would be good for this smartwatch, but more detailed video like a video gameplay and movie trailers would be less enjoyable.

I like to think looking at something that small would strain the eyes.

I like to think looking at something that small would strain the eyes.

People used to play games, view videos and watch video on a Tamagotchi with small screens, small MP3 players with a colored screen, and older cell phones which screen is about the size of this Smartwatch's screen. I think as long as the screen or room is bright enough, and the screen resolution is higher, eye strain will be less of a problem unless you watch longer video.

I saw a news report which says eye strain from TV is caused by dry eyes from people not blinking their eyes enough when they watch TV, smartphone, or monitors because they are too focus on the video to blink regularly.

If a person eyes get strained while reading smaller text, and watching video and viewing pictures on a smaller screen, it is a good time to visit the eye doctor for him to prescribe the person a pair of vision correcting glasses, contact lenses, or refer you to the hospital to fix more serious vision problems like cataracts/cloudy eyes.
