:idea: allready asked that it’s coming
There is a kludge to do it now . Sign up with the my xensr site
Put the account details in the app . Then you can export from the desktop site. Wierd stuff may happen , it’s not supported and it may loose the old sessions.
Fantastic app so far seems banG on. Seems a much better Beth than woo / piq / xensr air :)

I too have ordered a series 3 cellular, with the intention that it can be a backup safety device as well. I have never had my Series 1 watch come off so the clasp is definitely reliable, but it makes me nervous too!

Still cannot believe the Woo doesn't have GPS...!😂

Hey CaliRider, thanks for sharing. But in my opinion, the android watch version requires the xensr or xensr air hardware device mounted on the board. Jesse in the vid seems to have mounted two ;-). (See video 0:04) The app just displays the data in realtime, because xensr air is streaming the data through bluetooth. This is not a standalone version as the Sessions App for Apple Watch. Not requiring to mount a hardware device is a USP.

Have fun

Fab

P.S.

And the xensr air is still on back order for some time.

Yes, the Jesse-video is what we Android Wear-users have had for a long time. And indeed it is displaying IMU-device reading over bluetooth realtime. I use it too with very cheap Sony Smartwatch-clock like Jesse does.

About Android-wear version of clock-only height metering like this topic is right now talking, I got an answer from Xensr at Facebook.

"Will Android wear devices with gps/imu get the same app?"
Xensr: "Yes. Updates coming."

Just got my AW2. Haven't tested it yet - am waiting for the wind. Will submit my review when I test the setup.
Which watch straps are you guys using? Do they hold it secure on the wrist?
