About Cronosurf Wave watch
Cronosurf Wave is a chronograph watch app for Android devices and a watch face for Wear OS watches.
NOTE: The Tizen operating system and thus Samsung Gear/Galaxy watches are NOT supported as of today!
This app is based on the original design started 2014 as a web-based technology demonstrator (cronosurf.com). Its main focus lays on design, functionality and usability. If you are a chronograph watch lover, you'll find yourself using Cronosurf as your day-to-day app for alarm, countdown timer and stopwatch.
Since Cronosurf has many features, the app includes a comprehensive user manual. The Button Assistant (also available on the web version) labels each button according to the momentary state of the watch and helps you to quickly get familiarized with the basics. To activate it, simply tap on the area above the watch.
Discover all the special features and great usability of Cronosurf Wave. You will love it!
Cronosurf Wave runs on Wear OS watches with complete functionality and without the need of an Android device!
Note: For touch interactivity, Android 6.+ on the watch is required
There is also a dedicated "Android Smartwatch Mode" for standalone Android Smartwatches that optimizes the app for the watch screen. Note that Cronosurf runs as a regular app on these devices (not as a watch face).

User reviews
Very nice ...
Awesome watch face and even better support! I tested this free version and LOVED it. The pro features sold me on the upgrade. I tested the beta version of the next version and discovered an issue with the watch face. The support I received was top notch and definitely makes the cost of the pro app worth it. Thank yo...
Good App
Voiceless!. Cheers!.
Love it
Excellent
