A Workaround: How to See Your Work Calendar on Your Watch

If you’re reading this, you’re likely searching for a way to add work calendar events to your Wear OS smartwatch. I faced the same issue with my Google Pixel Watch – it couldn’t show me my upcoming work events. This is because you can’t add your Work Profiles to your smartwatch. Unless your work account administrator disables device management, there’s a simple workaround to get those important events displayed.

The Secret: Calendar Sharing

Here are the simple steps involved:

  1. Share Your Work Calendar: Go into your work calendar settings and share access with your personal email address. Select the level of access you want your personal email to have (view-only, editing ability, etc.). Here’s how to do that: https://support.google.com/calendar/answer/37082
  2. Accept and Add: Check your personal email, where you’ll find the calendar invitation. Accept it and add this calendar to your list.
  3. Sync Settings on Your Phone: Just to be sure, open the Calendar app on your phone. In Settings, make sure the work calendar you just added is selected for syncing with your smart watch.

And that’s it! Now your important work events will be right on your wrist.
