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 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).

I first thought this face was too complicated, but am glad I gave it a chance and will be upgrading to the pro version. Basically, this face gives you access to many useful functions (alarm, compass, stopwatch, timer, etc) while never leaving the watchface itself. I see this as VERY handy. Just read the instructions and you will grasp the virtual buttons (touch areas) quickly. It is intuitive.

best watchface around! ive tried a bunch, and as a regular watch lover i wanted something that combined a great looking and functional chronograph type watch while retaining the ability to use it as a smartwatch. this one does it about as good as it can be done. the user manual and interactive browser face app help to learn the functionality, and it only took a couple of hours of trial to get the hang of it. great job!

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 you Fruit4Droid for the fantastic watch face and impeccable support. You guys rock!
