How to check and update your calendar on Apple Watch

Use Calendar to check your schedule, add or update events, and see scheduled reminders. You can also respond to invitations, get directions to an event, and choose which calendars appear on your watch.

There’s a list view, a day view, and a month view. Each event shows details like time, location, invitee status, and notes, and you can even open Calendar right from the watch face.
