Google has been improving the Keep app for Wear OS in recent months, integrating Material You elements, redesigning tiles and more. The latest update, 5.22.452.00.97, raises the device requirements to Android 11 and above. This means that older watches still running Wear OS 2 will no longer support the Google Keep app.
Wear OS 2 older watches visit the Play Store and search for Google Keep and it does not show the app. Accessing from web/mobile and looking at the “Compatibility of your active device” list, I found that the app is “not compatible with your device”.
Google’s official apps that are still supported on Wear OS 2 watches include Google, Gboard, Fit, Wallet, Messages, Camera, Clock, Wear OS by Google Smartwatch and YouTube Music. Wear OS 2 watches that already have Google Keep installed are not affected, but may not get the update in the future.
