- Google’s Clock app has gone missing from the Play Store for some smartwatch owners.
- The issue appears to be primarily affecting Galaxy Watches and OnePlus Watches.
- Sideloading the app works, but it’s not recognized by Google, so there’s no handshake between phone and watch.
Google’s Clock app is one of the better timekeeping apps available for Wear OS. If you want to install it on your device, you may run into a bit of trouble if you have a non-Pixel smartwatch. It appears the app has recently gone missing from the Play Store for these users.
We have spotted multiple reports from non-Pixel smartwatch owners that Google’s Clock app is no longer available for installation from the Play Store. These reports span across Reddit, Google’s support page, and reviews in the app’s Play Store listing. Based on the reports we were able to find, it appears the problem primarily affects various Galaxy Watch and OnePlus Watch models. Even if the app is already installed, some users are seeing that the app description in the Play Store says that their device is not supported.
