The Surfr update from March 13 brings the full Surfr experience to Android watches (Wear OS).
Until now, Wear OS riders didn’t have access to the same features as Apple Watch users. With this release, the Android watch experience reaches feature parity with Apple Watch, unlocking powerful tools directly from your watch during your session.
We’ve also introduced a brand-new mode available on both Android and Apple watches, along with various bug fixes and performance improvements to make the Surfr App experience on your wrist smoother and more reliable.
