Android Enterprise work profile does not support wearOS yet
Last year I was at the Samsung Mobile Business Summit in Germany. There, a company presented a modern version of home emergency calls. A home emergency call is an emergency call solution for elderly people who can call the emergency services immediately in an emergency. However, people are often unhappy using such solutions because they feel like a electronic ankle bracelet.
The company rents out smartwatches (including Samsung Watches with wearOS) and manages them centrally. This is a more modern solution that is much better accepted.
In principle, it would currently be possible to manage smartwatches, but these are likely to be OEM-specific features right now. Samsung smartwatches, for example, can be managed with Knox Manage: https://docs.samsungknox.com/admin/knox-manage/configure/profile/configure-profile-policies/wear-os-policies/
Wearables are usually used in companion mode with a smartphone. I would assume that there will be no standardized and comprehensive management solution for standalone wearable in the near future due to low demand.
