Google has launched a dedicated Apple Watch app for Google Calendar, marking a significant enhancement to its functionality on the watchOS platform. With the release of version 25.24.1, users can now view an overview of their upcoming events and tasks directly from their wrist. The new app offers a streamlined interface that allows users to see a week’s worth of schedule information in a visually appealing list format.
Each event or task is represented on a color-coded card that displays essential details, including the time, title, and location. While users can tap on an item to access more information, it’s important to note that the app currently does not allow the creation or editing of events from the watch. Users are prompted to open the Google Calendar app on their iPhone for these functionalities.
In addition to the app, Google has introduced two new complications that can be added to watchOS watch faces and the Smart Stack. The “What’s next” complication presents the user’s next appointment in either circular or rectangular formats, and tapping it opens the Google Calendar app with event details. The second complication, “Today’s date,” displays the current day and date in a small circular format, also linking to the calendar app when tapped.
Prior to this update, Google had only released dedicated watchOS apps for Google Maps, YouTube Music, and Google Keep. The Google Calendar app with Apple Watch support is now available for download on the App Store. In related news, Apple is expected to announce new product updates soon, including anticipated updates to the AirPods Pro, and the introduction of a low-cost MacBook powered by an iPhone chip.
Additionally, the Apple Watch Ultra 3 is anticipated to be launched later this year alongside the iPhone 17 lineup.
