Hi,
That's probably only part of the explanation. I guess Apple's clock app
uses special battery-friendly API's that allow the app to go on forever
so to speak. I could imagine that these API's even circumvent the need
for the main processor. (All speculation: I didn't examine all features
of the hardware specs).
If Apple would allow third-party clock apps, those would drain the
battery too quickly. Moreover, the third-party clock would disappear and
be replaced by Apple's own app as soon as the battery would reach a
particularly low level, which would cause a weird user experience.

I can see why Apple does this.
Someone makes an app with an interface that looks like one of Apple’s, but
functions somewhat differently—space for user confusion.

Any Android watch face apps are just apps. Albeit the provided app has an
API for adding more, and you can easily swipe through to pick one you like,
or that goes well with your shirt, etc. Notifications are always above the
running app, whether it's your own, or the built-in one.

Building such a tiny ui on a watch face has been both a fun and

Enjoy it on your own or on an Android Wear watch, but it turns out that
clocks are among the ever-growing list of forbidden apps with Apple's watch:
Apple to devs: Watch out, don't make the Watch into a, well, a watch
