Google Clock for Wear OS is now exclusive to the Pixel Watch

Like the Weather app, Google officially announced today that Clock for Wear OS is now only available for the Pixel Watch.

Google’s Clock app encompasses the Alarm, Timer, and Stopwatch. It is “no longer available for download on Wear OS smartwatches – except for pre-installed on the Pixel Watch.”

If Google Clock is already installed on your watch, the app(s) will continue to work, but you will “no longer receive updates from the Play Store.” As such, non-Pixel Watch owners miss out on the big Material 3 Expressive redesign with tweaked interfaces, updated Tiles, and Dynamic Color.

Otherwise, Google’s Clock app is no longer available to download from the Play Store.

Google notes how watch brands offer their own default clock apps on Wear OS, while third-party apps are also available.

There are no changes to Pixel Watch owners, while this joins the new Pixel Weather app introduced with Wear OS 6.

Redesign

• If you have a Pixel Watch:
  • Your watch will automatically come with and receive updates to the Clock app via the Play Store.
     
• If you have any other Wear OS watch:
  • If your watch already has Google’s Clock app installed, you can continue to use it. Note: You will no longer receive updates from the Play Store.
  • If you did not have Google’s Clock app installed, it is no longer available for install from the Play Store. You can either access the default clock app on your watch or download from a selection of clock apps available in the Play Store.
