Reminders on Your Wrist

Although lots of task management apps also offer Apple Watch versions, Apple’s Reminders app is the best one we’ve seen for integrating with the Siri Watch Face. Each scheduled reminder will appear as a card in time-appropriate slots, giving you a calendar-like overview of what you have to do next. This works best if you keep your actual timed reminders to the few critically important things you have to do each day; don’t put alerts on anything that doesn’t have a deadline, and make use of the Notes app for longer lists of less important items.

The Reminders watchOS app doesn’t do much, but it does have an elegant simplicity to it compared to many of the other ones we’ve looked at. You can easily access every one of your lists and check any of your items off, which covers the important stuff on the Apple Watch, and of course you can simply use Siri if you want to add new items.
