On my new Watch 6, the apps for Google Calendar and Google Contacts open with their content.
But whenever I tap on the app Gmail, it shows the message "Authentication is required. You need to sign into your Google account", but the "Re-authenticate" button below that does nothing.
Google Play Services in my Android phone has all the permissions.
So how would I use Gmail on my watch?
Thanks

@jeffmoo: Please try heading to Settings > Accounts and backup > Accounts > Google, and make sure that the Google account on your connected phone is registered to your Watch. This can also be achieved by heading to Settings > Google > Accounts. Let me know if this helps.

Hi Andrew
Thank you for assisting. Yes the Google account is fully working on my Android phone and this is what is registered for my watch.
Like I described, other Google apps are working for that same Google account. But Gmail is not. I've uninstalled it and re-installed, and this error is still showing up.

I've had a continuous notification on the watch "Account action required" with my email address. When I tap it, it shows a button "Open app", and nothing happens when I tap this button.
Could there be a setting or permission somewhere that is causing this nonsense?

That's correct. Nothing is happening on the phone when I tap this button
