The Apple Watch does not have a built-in Google Calendar app because Apple primarily focuses on integrating its own ecosystem of apps and services into their devices. However, you can still access and sync your Google Calendar events on your Apple Watch by following a few simple steps.
To begin, make sure you have added your Gmail account to your iPhone’s settings with the Calendar option enabled. This will allow your Google Calendar events to sync with the default iOS Calendar app.
1. Open the Settings app on your iPhone.
2. Scroll down and tap on “Mail” or “Mail, Contacts, Calendars” (depending on your iOS version).
3. Tap on “Add Account” and select “Google” from the list of options.
4. Enter your Google account credentials (email and password) and follow the prompts to complete the setup.
5. Make sure the “Calendars” option is enabled for your Google account.
Once you have added your Gmail account and enabled the Calendar option, you need to ensure that only Google Calendars are displayed in the iOS Calendar app. This will prevent any confusion or duplication of events.
1. Open the default Calendar app on your iPhone.
2. Tap on the “Calendars” option at the bottom center of the screen.
3. Scroll down and uncheck any calendars that are not associated with your Google account, such as iCloud or Exchange calendars. Ensure that only your Google Calendar(s) are selected.
Now that your Google Calendar is properly set up on your iPhone, you can easily view and manage your events on your Apple Watch.
1. Open the Apple Watch app on your iPhone.
2. Scroll down and tap on “Calendar.”
3. Make sure the “Synced Calendars” option is set to “All Events.”
4. You can also customize the “Time Travel” and “Show Alerts” options to your preference.
With these settings in place, your Google Calendar events will be synced to your Apple Watch. You can view your events, receive notifications, and even respond to event invitations directly from your wrist.
It’s worth noting that although there is no dedicated Google Calendar app for the Apple Watch, the integration with the iOS Calendar app provides a seamless experience for users who rely on Google Calendar for their scheduling needs.
While the Apple Watch does not have a dedicated Google Calendar app, you can still access and sync your Google Calendar events by setting up your Gmail account with the Calendar option enabled on your iPhone. By configuring the iOS Calendar app to display only Google Calendars and customizing the Apple Watch settings, you can easily stay on top of your schedule right from your wrist.
