         6 . The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of  claim 1 , wherein the at least one calendar entry is scheduled for the current day. 
     
     
         7 . The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of  claim 1 ,
 wherein the first text indicating the at least two months comprises:
 text indicating the names of the at least two months including the current month, and 
 a plurality of numerals indicating at least some days of the current month; and 
   wherein the text and the plurality of numerals associated with the current month are displayed such that, as a unit, they span the vertical center of the touch-sensitive display.   
     
     
         8 . The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of  claim 1 ,
 wherein the second text indicating the at least some days in the one and only month comprises a plurality of numerals indicating at least some days of the current month, including the current day, and   wherein the display of the numeral indicating the current day spans the vertical center of the touch-sensitive display.   
     
     
         9 . The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of  claim 1 , wherein the at least one affordance representing the at least one calendar entry is a contiguous region visually distinguishable from a background of the calendar application. 
     
     
         10 . An electronic device, comprising:
 a touch-sensitive display;   a rotatable input mechanism;   one or more processors;   a memory; and   one or more programs, wherein the one or more programs are stored in the memory and configured to be executed by the one or more processors, the one or more programs including instructions for:
 displaying, on the touch-sensitive display, an affordance representing a calendar application; 
 detecting user input; 
 in response to detecting the user input: 
 (a) in accordance with a determination that the detected user input is a touch on the displayed affordance:
 displaying a first text indicating at least two months in a year, 
 then, replacing the display of the first text with a display of a second text indicating at least some days in one and only one month of the year, and 
 then, replacing the display of the second text with a display of at least one affordance representing at least one calendar entry; 
 
 (b) in accordance with a determination that the detected user input is a movement of the rotatable input mechanism:
