Changing or Adding Google Accounts on Wear OS (Android)

When you initially set up Wear OS on your smartwatch, you'll be prompted to sign in with a Google Account. This Google Account will be used to receive notifications, sync contacts, and manage apps unless you decide to switch to a different account later. Note that you can't add a separate work account to your Wear OS watch.

Here's how to add or switch Google accounts on your watch:

1. Ensure your watch is awake. You can wake it up by sliding down from the watch face.
2. Tap "Settings," and then select "Personalization."

To Add an Account:
- Tap "Accounts," and then choose "Add Google Account."

To Switch Accounts:
- Tap "Accounts," and select a different account if you have multiple accounts added to your watch.

Your watch utilizes the Google Account you set up during the initial connection. You have the flexibility to have multiple Google accounts on both your watch and phone.

Here are some additional tips:

- Once you add your Google Account to your watch, you can download apps from the Play Store.
- Some apps provide the option to change the account you use to sign in, allowing you to manage your preferences effectively.

By following these steps, you can seamlessly manage your Google Accounts on your Wear OS watch for a tailored experience.
