Users of Galaxy Watch and OnePlus Watch smartwatches are reporting that Google's Clock app is no longer installable, making them incompatible with the app. This issue is impacting non-Pixel Wear OS devices, with no available workaround currently. Google has not yet commented on the problem.

Some Galaxy Watch and OnePlus Watch owners report that Google’s Clock app won’t install on their devices anymore, while Pixel watches remain unaffected.A minor bug in a core app, such as the clock app on your Android smartphone and Wear OS smartwatch, can critically impact your experience.

Now, multiple Galaxy Watch and some OnePlus Watchindicate that the Clock app by Google is no longer compatible with some people's smartwatches. Curiously enough, it seems that the issue is impacting only non-Pixel timepieces. Basically, affected users say that the smartwatches are marked as incompatible in the Play Store. One user reports that the Install button is now completely gone. Meanwhile, users are, however, not experiencing issues with the Google Clock app on their phones. So it seems the bug is specific to the Wear OS version of the app. It seems that there's no available workaround right now. People who have tried sideloading the APK report that it doesn't work. Other suggested solutions are also reportedly not helping the impacted users. So far, Google appears not to have commented on the issue, but the company should be aware of the issue by now, given the fact that the complaint was first posted on Google's support page some nine days ago. The bug has caused some people to speculate that the company is making the Clock app a Pixel-exclusive. However, that seems not to be the case, as Google wouldn't make this decision without notifying users first, possibly months before that happens. Nevertheless, strange things do sometimes happen in the tech world. As much as I hate bugs, they're a part of tech that's inevitable. Bugs with basic apps are the most annoying in my opinion, so I'm hoping Google fixes this one soon.
