That's a shame. I never tested it on a physical device, and, as you pointed out, it works in a simulator, so I left it there. It's worth keeping it only on a simulator and showing an error when running on a device.
Since there's already a "Send to iPhone" feature, maybe some of that logic could be reused to make a logger that would stream to the iPhone and the iOS receiver could re-emit the logs on its store.
That would be nice. I thought about making an iPhone your primary way to interact with the watchOS console. Still, it would've required significant time investment, and, as it looks like, barely anyone uses it on the watch – nobody raised this issue before.
There is a new "Open on Mac" feature in Pulse 14.0.0-beta.2 that allows you to quickly view individual messages or tasks on a Mac. I think it could be implemented relatively easily, and unlike streaming won't affect battery life, which is important to take into account.

The configuration for remote logging currently exists in the UI for Apple Watch but doesn't work.
From what I could gather Pulse is using low-level networking to stream logs. Unfortunately, Apple Watch doesn't support this (with a few very specific exceptions). See TN3135
There doesn't seem to be any easy workaround, the only supported ways of doing networking on the watch is through HTTP or Watch Connectivity (i.e. communicating with a companion iOS app)

(Note: it does work in the simulator, but that's a bug)
