The tech giant, Google, continues to impress with their latest launch: Google Calendar for Wear OS, now accessible via the Play Store. In the wearable device's launcher, the application appears simple as "Calendar," simultaneously running with "Agenda" in the maiden Pixel Watch equipped with Wear OS 3.5.
An extension of the conventional "Schedule" view from mobile devices, this application allows users to dive deep into event details. Among these details are location, notes, reminders, and the specific calendar to which an event is archived. It also enables users to confirm their attendance to a particular event. Other user-friendly options include "Open on phone" and "Delete event" located at the bottom of the event details page.
Prominently displayed events, such as holidays and birthdays, are highlighted with background images in the primary feed. In an interesting twist, Google Tasks will also be visible, providing the user with the ability to mark them as complete directly from the wear OS device. Uniquely, Google Calendar showcases a noteworthy feature indicating how far the application has been "Synced until." It is important to note that creating an event or task inside the wearable application is not an option.
In addition to these offerings, Google Calendar introduces two new Wear OS Tiles, namely "Next event" and "Next tasks." The latter tile showcases two impending entries. The "More" option expands into the full application and should not be considered a standalone view.
Furthermore, there is a "Next event" Calendar complication, whereas existing issues related to dating will ask the user's preference in utilizing either the Google Calendar or the Agenda app for future proceedings.
Although a touch simplistic, this Google Calendar for Wear OS addition presents comprehensive convenience to its users. As we progress towards no-code and low-code solutions in the world of tech, such as AppMaster, it's exciting to see businesses providing the consumers with solutions that make interactions simpler yet efficient. With more companies like AppMaster emerging in the tech industry, we anticipate further advancements in the integration of everyday applications in wearable devices.
