How to Use Google Workspace Account with Pixel Watch 2

Using a Google Workspace account with your Pixel Watch 2 requires specific configuration due to device management limitations.

The Limitation​

Google Workspace accounts with Device Management enabled cannot be added to a Pixel Watch. This affects many business and enterprise accounts.

Solution​

Step 1: Disable Device Management Your Google Workspace administrator must disable Mobile Device Management at admin.google.com Devices Settings General.

Step 2: Add Account On watch: Settings Accounts & security Add Google Account

Step 3: Factory Reset (if needed) If issues persist after policy changes, factory reset the watch and retry.

Workspace-Specific Issues​

  • Gmail App Lock: May lock when switching to Workspace account.

  • Calendar Sync: Work calendar data may not sync to Google's WearOS calendar app (but may show in pre-installed calendar app).

  • Setup Dialog: Account dialog may close after 5 seconds during setup attempts.

  • Policy Blocking: Device management policies may block watch pairing entirely.

Workarounds​

  • Pre-installed Calendar: Your work calendar may appear in the pre-installed calendar app even if Google Calendar app doesn't sync.

  • Disable Policies First: Turn off device management policies before attempting watch setup.

  • Factory Reset: Perform factory reset after any policy changes for complete compatibility.

  • Personal Account First: Set up watch with personal Google account, then add Workspace as secondary.
