Byte-Sized Brief
- Google launched a simple Calendar app for Apple Watch.
- It shows up to one week of events.
- The app adds two complications.
Google hasn’t launched many Apple-compatible apps, but you might have missed its stealth rollout of Google Calendar for Apple Watch in the past week. While longtime Google Calendar fans might relish the availability of a built-in app for their favorite Apple wearable, don’t get too excited. It’s pretty simple and functions exactly the way this app works on WearOS watches, too: Both versions rely heavily on the smartphone version of the app.
What you do get, though, is a week’s worth of events (plus any tasks) in a simple list view with some color coding and details when you expand an item. The app also offers two complications—to display your next event or highlight today’s date. Anything beyond viewing basic information requires the Google Calendar app on iPhone, which the app will open for you. But if Google Calendar is your preferred scheduler, this addition could save you some valuable time.
The Bottom Line
The Google Calendar app for Apple Watch is the latest offering for Google-Apple users. It’s a simple program that displays your weekly appointments and reminders, and doesn’t allow for on-device editing, but you can choose from two watch complications for quick schedule views.
