Your Apple Calendar helps you stay on top of your upcoming appointments and reminders, but did you know there is a lot you can do from just your watch?
When done right, calendars can make living in our chaotic, modern world with so many things that constantly demand our attention a little more bearable. But the thing about calendars is that they’re only as useful as how well they’re integrated into our daily lives. Whether it is a physical calendar or a digital one, it takes commitment to regularly update them as your needs change and plans evolve with time. Thankfully, the Apple Watch can help keep your calendar alive by letting you access it directly on your wrist.
With so many ways to customize your Apple Watch, it’s unsurprising that optimizing your on-the-go scheduling requirements is one of them. Most people are probably aware that you can check your iPhone’s Calendar app through your Apple Watch, but you’d be surprised to know that Apple hasn’t been slowing down with improved features in its recent OS updates. For example, there are plenty of new cool Watch faces that have popped up, with some of them having complications designed to help put your calendar at the forefront or make it easier to navigate. That being said, you should probably update your watchOS to the latest version as soon as possible.
So, if you’re ready to get a better hold of your time (and your life), here are some ways to get the most out of your Apple Watch calendar today.Find a better view
With the hustle and bustle of life, scheduling time to see friends and family can be a nightmare. If we’re not careful, we’ll get trapped in everyday tasks and fail to see that years can pass pretty quickly. While it’s important to view your day-to-day tasks, having a bird’s eye view can change how you spend your time. Thankfully, you can switch calendar views on your Apple Watch in just a few taps. Here’s how:
On your Apple Watch, press the Digital Crown.
Select the Calendar app.
Tap the more (or three dots) icon.
Under View Options, select your preferred view.
On your Apple Watch, there are three views that you can use to view your Calendar entries: Up Next, List, and Day. With the Up Next view, you can view the events due to happen within the week, which makes it a great view when you’re just trying to get through the day. On the other hand, the List view shows you events from two weeks before the present day and up to two years later. Lastly, the Day, Week, or Month view lets you see a color-coded view of your calendar across a set period. Using the Day view, you can easily switch to the Week or the Month view by tapping the arrow pointing left icon in the upper-left corner of the screen and turning the Digital Crown to view succeeding months.
