Is there still an OruxMaps Wear OS component or not in 8.5.1 GP? I don't see the option to download it from the watch's app store either by searching for it and neither via the "apps on my phone" section. I tried to force sideload it via Wear Installer, but it said no watch component was found.

Is this perhaps an issue with Wear OS 3.0? I don't have any other watches to try on, but I understand some apps are still not compatible with this new release and don't show up in the store.

Does anybody have a Galaxy Watch 4? Does it work for you?

I just bought a new Samsung Watch 4. this is my first smartwatch. 
Even I have Oruxmaps GP and Oruxmaps 7.4.23 already installed in my phono, no oruxmaps app available from the watch.

Very interested from here other users

The way Wear apps are now published has changed. Now the add-ons that belong to an app installed on the phone are no longer automatically installed.

Now it is controlled by Google, which requires a COMPREHENSIVE review of Wear apps. The OruxMaps one is in process (It has been rejected 5 times, I don't know if I will want to try again if they reject it again).

I decided returning the watch 4  due to this lack compatibility.

That's very unfortunate. I hope you find the energy to go through with this process since OruxMaps is a perfect companion on the wrist for quick stats and map checks.
