Never wonder what calendar week it is again. CW is a clean, minimalist Apple Watch complication and standalone watch app designed to give you instant, glanceable access to the current ISO 8601 calendar week. Key Features: • Inline Watch Complication: Seamlessly integrates into any Apple Watch face with an inline slot, displaying e.g. "SAT 19 · CW38". • Standalone Watch App: No iPhone companion required! Installs and runs directly on your Apple Watch. • Week Progress Indicator: Visual gauge showing exact progress through the 7-day week, taking into account the time of day. • Surrounding Weeks Overview: Quickly scroll to check past and upcoming calendar weeks with full date intervals. • Localized by Country: Automatically uses the standard 2-letter abbreviation for your region (e.g. KW in Germany/Austria/Switzerland, CW in English, SC in France/Spain/Italy). • 100% Private: Zero trackers, zero analytics, zero data collection. All calculations run strictly on-device.

Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: CW at every 3 weeks against Calendarweek Widget's every 16 months. Calendarweek Widget's advantage is iOS requirement (16.0 vs 18.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
