If your Pixel Watch setup keeps failing at the Google account login screen, here are some common causes and solutions.


Common Causes and Solutions

  • Ensure Strong Internet Connection: A stable Wi-Fi connection is required for setup.
  • Use Personal Google Account: Google Workspace accounts are not fully supported and can cause login issues.
  • Clear Google Play Services Cache: A corrupted cache can interfere with the login process.
  • Try a Different Network: If you're on Wi-Fi, try a different network or use cellular data.
  • Temporarily Disable 2-Factor Authentication: In some cases, 2FA can interfere with the initial setup. You can re-enable it after setup is complete.
