How to Get Google Calendar on Apple Watch

The Apple Watch comes with the pre-installed Calendar app (Apple-made app). If you want to use any other calendar app on your Apple Watch, like Google Calendar, you are out of luck. The Google Calendar app is not available for Apple Watch. However, I found a hack to use the Google Calendar app on Apple Watch in a Reddit post. You can sync your Google account on your iPhone and get Google Calendar alerts on Apple Watch.

With this, all your Google Calendar events will be synced to your iPhone and you get alerts on your Apple Watch. Let’s see how to do this in detailed steps. If you aren’t interested in syncing your Google Calendar app, we have also mentioned a few third-party Calendar apps that are natively available on the App Store for Apple Watches. With the help of those apps, you can manage schedules, appointments, events, and much more right from your wrist.

How to Get Google Calendar Alerts on Apple Watch

Before you continue with the steps, you must pair the Apple Watch with an iPhone.

#1: Open the Settings menu on your iPhone.

#2: Click the Calendar option from the list of apps.

#4: Now, click the Add Account option.

Once the sync is completed, the Google Calendar events will start to appear on the built-in Calendar app of the Apple Watch. But, the process may take up to 15-20 minutes while doing it for the first time.
