Synching Series 4 Watch with iPhone calendars

I have seen a few posts on here saying that there was a problem synching the iPhone with their watch.

I am using an iPhone 8+ and a series 4 watch and if I manually sync the watch it works fine but then changes I make do not appear. I have done all the OS updates. I have the watch calendar set to mirror iPhone.


Has this problem been fixed as I have not seen anything that is working for me. Thanks

Apple Watch Series 4, watchOS 5

What are you referring to when you say that you manually sync the watch. When you say that when you make changes they do not appear. Are you referring to changes you make on the iPhone are not reflected on the Apple Watch? Have you checked to ensure the Watch is paired to the phone? Are the two devices close to each other when you are making changes/checking for changes? While you say you have seen a few posts here, I've not seen that many that would indicate it is a problem on Apple's end. Try rebooting your watch, press and hold the digital crown and power button together until you see the Apple logo and then release.

The other threads suggested that you can refresh the data by going General>reset>reset sync data in the Watch app on the phone. I just don’t think this should be necessary.

The watch is synced and close to the phone otherwise manually syncing would not work either.

Rebooting the phone does not resync the calendar either.

I guess a call to Apple Care is on the books.
