The Wear OS app also supports Bluetooth Low energy (4.0) peripherals like heart rate sensors and inbuilt sensors. The wear app also supports non gps enabled watches when paired to a phone, working in a mirrored mode allowing you to control and view the phones recording.
Ghostracer allows you to use your GPS wear os device as a fully usable cycling computer. It can connect to btle cycling sensors such as speed, cadence and power sensors.
Other Peripherals:

Ghost racer
*Sensors support where available.
Ant+ requires a phone with the Ant+ capabilities or a Ant+ dongle / usb stick
Note there is an issue with the Sony Smartwatch 3 (sw3) where sweat can make the watch lose GPS signal. People have used sweatbands or other things under the watch to keep it away from sweat, resulting in much improved performance.

The best app for running with a smart watch. Fully customisable watch faces I wish there was a way to see the last activity on the watch either: If accidentally deleted instead of saved, I'd like to bring it back. If I've gone off the screen but would like to see the summary again. If there has been a problem with the sync to Strava, etc I'd like to be able to push it again

A great concept, but still quite buggy. I've been looking for an app with the features ghost racer has to use on my pixel watch. Unfortunately there are quite a few bugs and quirky behaviours that have meant I have stopped using it. Specifically the current pace reads significantly over, if I'm running a 5 min km it will constantly say 6min plus. Other issues with cadence, upload gpx for ghosts, heartrate sensor turned off on one run, etc.

If I finish a run and forget to actually swipe away the statistics page, battery will drain to nothing over the next few hours. Presumably GPS is still turned on by the app at this time, or some other process is running away like crazy. Can you please stop whichever it is? There's no obvious indication that the stats page is still active - there is no ongoing notification, for instance. Otherwise very handy for sharing stats.

I would like to just be able to select a previous run I've done and run against that, but this doesn't appear possible, which is a massive downside for me. I'd love to be corrected, but as far as I can tell, you can only import segments or created routes from Strava. Segments are too small for my route and I have a free version of Strava so I can't create routes. Outside of this, the UI is also pretty rough and non-intuitive. Could do with a re-design.

I really like the app on my Pixel Watch 2 but lately I continually receive the message "error receiving activity bundle" on launch, which makes it unusable. Hope it gets sorted out.

Great app. Different sensors and data can be configured in a clear interface. Battery consumption is very low. Bluetooth sensors working again in latest version 9th July
