Finally, the Apple Watch is launched!
Since the announcement of the new Apple Watch in September 2014 along with the iPhone 6 and the iPhone 6 plus, the techies and the cydia developers started working on the design and user interface with the circular icons and a fluid home screen icon layout for the iPhone. There after, a bunch of tweaks were developed to seek this look and feel to the current iOS devices such as "Aternum" and "WatchSpring", but they were not much stable and had less features. So here comes a long serving member of the jailbreak scene which is most complete tweak yet. If you're looking to replicate the Apple Watch UI on your iPhone, you must look forward for the "WatchBoard" (Tweak)
Note: You need to Jailbreak your device!
Here is the homescreen of the iPhone! So right here it looks preety cool. The spacing between the icons and the shape of the icons is something you can change through the settings panel. If you tap and hold on an application icon, you can rearrange and place it anywhere you want and the movement is actually preety nice and fluid.

Let's go ahead and jump to the settings and I'll show you exactly what it does.
So right here in the WatchBoard settings panel, you can see that we can enable as well as disable it from here itself without having a respring. You can even set an Activator command for enabling or disabling WatchBoard. Next option, Home Icon, you can select any application and on pressing home button, it will redirect you there. If we disable the option circular icon, then the icons will appear in square. We can even hide the Icon labels.
Next is the "Icon Spacing" scrubber, If it is slided towards extreme right, that's going to be extremely spread out and the spacing between the icons is very large.
Now if we slide that scrubber all the way to left, then you can see that the icons are basically on top of each other, as you can see below, there is no spacing between the icons. So this is why, it is looks best when the scrubber is kept less than half.
Ofcourse, If you can't find any application, you would just need the spotlight search, so with WatchBoard, just double tap on the empty space between the icons and you can see it brings up the spotlight right there!
