Q: Can I get Gmail on my Apple watch?

A: Short Answer: Yes. Google Inc. doesn't develop a Gmail app for the Apple Watch, however if you install the Gmail App on your iPhone X, the Gmail app notifications (which contain the Gmail message) on your iPhone get displayed on your Apple Watch. Note that you'll need to use your iPhone to respond to messages and long messages might get "cut off". See the note below for details.

Long Answer: You can also forward your Gmail messages to an iCloud email account to get the full messages and have the ability to reply to messages from the Apple Watch Mail app. Here's a decent explanation from the web, if you prefer this approach:
