How to Use Productivity Tools on WearOS

WearOS watches help you stay organized with calendar sync, weather updates, timers, and task management. Quick glances at your wrist replace pulling out your phone for routine information checks.

Calendar Integration​

View and manage your schedule directly from your watch.

  • Automatic Sync: Google Calendar syncs automatically to your watch. Events appear in the calendar app and as notifications before meetings.

  • Third-Party Calendars: Outlook, Exchange, and other calendars sync if connected to your phone's calendar app. Events appear alongside Google Calendar entries.

  • Quick Actions: View upcoming events, receive meeting reminders, and RSVP to invitations from your wrist. Create simple events using voice commands like Hey Google, schedule a meeting tomorrow at 3 PM.

  • Complications: Add calendar complications to your watch face to see your next appointment at a glance.

Weather Information​

Check current conditions and forecasts from your wrist.

  • Built-in Weather: The default weather app shows current conditions, hourly forecasts, daily forecasts, and severe weather alerts for your location.

  • Weather Apps: Download additional weather apps like AccuWeather, Windy, or Weather Underground for more detailed forecasts or different interfaces.

  • Watch Face Integration: Add weather complications showing temperature and conditions. Tap the complication to open full weather details.

Timer and Stopwatch​

Track time for cooking, workouts, or any timed activity.

  • Voice Timers: Say Hey Google, set a timer for 10 minutes to create timers hands-free. Multiple timers can run simultaneously with labeled names.

  • Manual Timer: Open the Timer app to set custom durations. Timers continue running even when you switch apps.

  • Stopwatch Features: The stopwatch includes start, stop, reset, and lap time recording. Useful for interval training or tracking split times.

Task Management​

Track to-do items and reminders on your wrist.

  • Google Tasks: Tasks created in Google Tasks sync to your watch. Check off completed items or add new tasks using voice commands.

  • Voice Reminders: Say Hey Google, remind me to call the doctor at 2 PM to create location or time-based reminders.

  • Third-Party Options: Install Todoist, Any.do, or other task apps for more advanced features like project organization and shared lists.

Note Taking​

Capture quick notes and ideas when your phone isn't handy.

  • Voice Notes: Say Hey Google, take a note followed by your message. Notes sync to Google Keep on your phone.

  • Quick Capture: Create shopping lists, meeting notes, and reminders by voice. Notes transcribe automatically and save for later access.
