Q: Calendar events not syncing after upgrade to watch 2.0
Upgraded my Apple Watch to v2.0 yesterday and immediately noted that the calendar complication was not functioning as expected. In fact, after using the complication to reach the calendar app, the only calendar with data was the birthday calendar. None of my work (MS Exchange) or personal (iCloud) calendars are available. Interestingly, calendar invites and notifications still come through the watch post upgrade, just not the events themselves.
I have tried a reset of the contact/calendar data, erase and restore from backup, erase and setup as a new watch, erase, unpair and restore from a previous (watch os 1.0) version. All to no avail.
Logging the issue in the hopes that someone else has seen this and has a workaround. Apple support recommended that I go into the Retail store, but I have doubts that this would accomplish much of anything.

Glad to hear that Fantasical works for you. It's a great app. With my corporate MDM, all third party calendar apps do not have access to corporate calendars. So that one has never worked for me. :-(
I agree this feels like a big let down by Apple. This is a core function of the watch - without it, the device loses a tremendous amount of value.
