Anyone else having trouble using GBoard on their Watch7?

I've always used the watch version of GBoard on my previous watches (Watch 2 and 4). Now I have the Watch 7 and downloaded GBoard and it is installed, but the watch will not let me choose it as the default.  I am happy they improved the Samsung keyboard for the watch, but I still don't like it and don't want to use it.  I do not know whether this is a Google problem or a watch problem, so I put in an error report with Samsung, and now I'm off to report to Google.

Aww. Sorry to hear that. I was more excited than I should have been when I discovered it worked. Like I said, the day before, it didn't. I had just fired off another email to the development team and decided to check again. Then I saw the radio button for selection and it worked.

Try uninstalling it, wiping the cache partition then reinstalling it.

I've been reporting it to Google but since it is only "feedback" there is no way to tell if they got it and definitely don't get a response. I read that it took them a year to fix when something like this happened last time.

I also wrote a bad review in the play store. Are you sending the email to the correct team? gboard-dev-support@google.com

I was just sending feedback in the Gboard app on my phone. I'll try sending it to that email too. Thanks.

Well, I also sent an error report to Samsung, so I don't really know who fixed it, only that it now works for me.

I am having trouble and it's making me hate my watch because the Samsung is absolutely wretched!

Well, it suddenly started working for me the other day.  Keep trying, one day it wasn't working for me, the next day it was. As I said, I don't know who fixed it Samsung or Google, as I put in a report with both.  I suggest you do the same.  The more complaints both of them get on this issue, the more likely it is to be addressed quickly.  Venting here is not going to get it fixed.
