About this app

Cronosurf Wave Pro is a chronograph watch app for Android devices and a watchface for Wear OS watches. No other OS are supported for now. Note: due to latest changes in Google policies, the Galaxy Watch 7, Galaxy Ultra and Pixel Watch 3 are not supported. You can install it from Google Play directly on the watch.

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. It has become the most popular chronograph watch face for Wear OS. 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 also runs on Wear OS watches without the need of an Android device! Install it directly from Google Play on the watch.

Standalone Android smartwatches are also supported. Note that Cronosurf runs as a regular app on these devices (not as a native watchface).

Ratings and reviews

It's very nice, and functional. If only it had a widget, I'd give it a perfect score. For now, I'm using the LWP and resized the watch face so it looks like a widget. Also, the hour and minute hands seem to blend into the watch face so sometimes it's hard to quickly see the time. Maybe if they were a different color like blue or red or even cyan? Nicer if they were 3D like the seconds hand.The world time would also be nice with multiple presets (like some of the Citizen eco-drive watches).

This is by far the most in depth watch face I have ever used, and it's free. It is the one face I consistently come back to if I change it, the alarm feature is one of the best parts I have a suggestion for future improvements, have the option to have that ticking sound the samsung watch faces have whenever it is on. I have a few others but none come to mind immediately, keep up the good work! Regards Playstore user

The app is on the phone but not on the watch. The phone app works like a watch but I wanted it on the watch. I can't figure out how to get it on the watch. 1/3/16 The description calls this a watch not an app. Android wear watch face app are called Watches. The Huawei is round and has a speaker soon to be activated. There are more and more round watches now and more coming. This was a waste of my time. 8/3/21 Now installed. Works fine.
