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.
I am glad it's not just me. I saw some reviews that something happened with the last update which, I guess coincided with my watch acquisition. I put in error reports with both Samsung and Google.
