One of the best features of the Apple Watch is that it will show you all of your iPhone app alerts even if the app isn’t loaded on the Apple Watch.

WristMail for Gmail on Apple Watch
You can use the Gmail app on Apple Watch if you really need to, but it’s not an official way, and we don’t suggest it. WristMail for Gmail is free software available on the App Store. It is a $1.99 paid application.
You must first download an app and log in using your Gmail account. You may read and respond to emails on your Apple Watch using this app. However, the app’s creator and the app it are not standard. Using third-party apps for sensitive information, such as Gmail, exposes you to privacy risks. You are entirely responsible for installing WristMail for Gmail.
If you don’t like Gmail, there are plenty of other ways to get your mail on your Apple Watch. Apps for Apple Watch include Airmail, Canary Mail, Spark Mail, and Zoho Mail.
