Google Calendar now has an Apple Watch app


Apple’s native calendar app on watchOS includes customization options that let you see alternate views, like a week summary and a full month. But the Google Calendar app only shows a week’s worth of events on your Apple Watch with their time and location, as well as Google Tasks in a simple list view showing the day of the week in the upper corner as you scroll.
You can click on an event to see additional details, but it’s very limited. You’re prompted to instead “Open Calendar on your phone to view more” if you want more specifics. According to 9to5Google, the app’s functionality is very similar to what’s offered on Wear OS devices.
There are also two home screen complications offered. The circular Today’s date shows the abbreviated day of the week and the date, while What’s next, which can be a circle, rectangle, or Smart Stack widget, shows your next appointment. Both complications can be tapped to open the Google Calendar watchOS app.
Although it may be a welcome option for those who want as much Google on their Apple Watch as possible (Google Keep, Maps, and YouTube Music are the only other watchOS apps the company offers) the standard calendar app can already sync with your Google Calendar and lets you see more details for a given event.
