The California-based tech giant, Google, had previously promised to bring the Gmail and Calendar apps that are widely being used to smartwatch devices and with respect to this had brought the Gmail app to smartwatches running on the Wear OS operating system. Following this, a week later, the brand also introduced the Calendar app optimized for smartwatches.

Google Calendar App for Smartwatches
The Calendar app that has now been introduced for smartwatch devices, unlike the normal Calendar app that is most commonly being used by all, doesn’t have a month or week view, but will just display calendar entries and will be able to sync with the Google account that is set as the default account on the paired smartwatch.
The app will also allow users to click and view more details regarding reminders or location. However, users won’t be able to make any sort of edits. To add, similar to the watch face integrated with the Gmail app, there is also a watch face with the Calendar app shortcut on it. Two tiles will also be there, which will display the next calendar event, whereas the other will show its users the next tasks (taken from Google Tasks).
To install the app, users will have to visit the Google Play Store app on the smartwatch and search for the Calendar app. Download it and wait until it’s installed. Once installed, the app will automatically sync with the Google account on the smartwatch device and will be ready to be used. To note, the Calendar app will only be available on smartwatches running on Wear OS 3.0 or its other newer versions.
