How to Configure the Calendar App on Apple Watch

Apple Watch uses the Calendar app to enable the user to view the upcoming events, so that he or she can keep track of his or her commitments. It is possible to set the Calendar app on Apple Watch to mirror the Calendar app on iPhone, making Apple Watch automatically pick up iPhone’s Calendar settings. Alternatively, users can configure Calendar manually. Users can also choose whether the Calendar Glance appears on Apple Watch or not.
