Cronosurf Wave
supports Android Wear
watches - fully interactive! Except the compass, all functions of the main app are implemented. However, it has been tested only on the Huawei Watch. It is therefore to be regarded as a preview and might not show full technical maturity on all situations/devices yet.
Note:
For touch interactivity, Android 6.+ on the watch is required
There is also a dedicated "Android Smartwatch Mode" for standalone Android Smartwatches (like the Finow X5) that optimizes the app for the watch screen. Note that Cronosurf runs as a regular app on these devices (not as a watchface).
