Use Google Accounts on your watch

The first time you set up Wear OS on your watch, you’ll be guided to sign into a Google Account. You’ll get notifications, share contacts, and sync apps from this account, unless you change it later.

Important:

• The steps below let you add a personal Google Account to your watch.
• You can’t add a Google Workspace Account that has "Device Management" turned on. If you want to use a Google Workspace Account on your watch, you must turn off "Device Management." Learn more about device management for Google Workspace Accounts.

Add or switch accounts on your watch

1. If you can't see your screen, wake up the watch.
2. To wake up your watch, from the watch face, slide down.
3. Tap Settings Account and Backup Google Account.
   • On Wear 2: Tap Settings Personalization.
   • To add an account: Tap Accounts Add Google Account.
   • To switch accounts: Tap Accounts and choose a different account.

Your watch uses the Google Account that you set up when you first connected your watch. You can have multiple Google accounts on both your watch and phone.

Tips:

• After you add your Google Account to your watch, you can download apps from the Play Store. Learn how to get and remove apps from your watch.
• Some apps let you change the account you use to sign in.
