Google Calendar releases a simple Apple Watch app

Only a few Google services offer Apple Watch clients, with Google Calendar unexpectedly becoming the fourth app today.

Google Calendar for Apple Watch is a simple application that shows a week’s worth of events and Google Tasks. There’s just a simple list view with the current day and date listed in the top-right corner. 

Each appointment or task gets its own color-coded card with the time at the top followed by the name and location. A tap lets you see more details. 

You’re prompted to “Open Calendar on your phone to view more.” It’s a 1:1 match with Google Calendar for Wear OS. There is no way to create new events or reminders from the watchOS app as far as we can tell.

Google Calendar offers two complications, starting with “What’s next.” Available as a circle or rectangle, it shows your next appointment, and is also available as a Smart Stack widget. Tapping immediately opens the app to event details.

There’s also a circular “Today’s date” complication with the day and date that opens Google Calendar.

Google Calendar for Apple Watch is rolling out with version 25.24.1 of the iPhone app. It joins Google Keep (which needs a modernization), Google Maps, and YouTube Music.
