Calendar complication not working with watchOS 6 update

Seems like Apple just released watchOS 6.0.1, and it fixes this calendar issue...

watchOS 6.0.1 optimizes performance, provides security updates, and contains improvements and bug fixes, including:

Resolves an issue where the Mickey Mouse and Minnie Mouse watch face does not speak time

Addresses an issue where the calendar complication may not display events

Fixes a bug that could result in a loss of display calibration data

Same here. I have iPhone X (iOS13.0) and Apple Watch S4 (WatchOS 6.0). Reached out to Apple Online support today and did some troubleshooting. We tried all the tricks, turn device on/off, reset sync data, unpair and pair apple watch again and none seemed to be working... This issue just happened right after updating both devices to the latest software.

In an last effort, Apple support suggested me to look under my phone Settings > Profile or Device Management. I did see Device Management as I use my personal phone to access work related information (email, calendar, etc). I removed Device Management (Uninstalled MobileIron - the app that my company uses to gain access to work related info). Magically, Calendar complication started working again and is showing all my personal calendar events..(it was mix of personal calendar events and company meetings before and it would not display anything..) I then installed MobileIron back and activated Device Management again, and calendar complication stopped working again... So it does seem like a compatibility issue between iOS13, WatchOS6, and the UEM supplier that I use, at least in my case.

Hope Apple can provide a solution soon :)

Everything appears to be back to normal in iOS 13.1 after going into Settings -> Passwords & Accounts -> turning your calendars off and back on in all accounts. Give this a try and it should work.

I use iCloud for my personal calendar and g-suite for my work calendar (MDM). The calendar complication is now working normally again. Hopefully it doesn’t revert back. It was driving me nuts!

Like others, I grow weary of this being one of the main issues I battle constantly on the apple watch. Since day one the watch has displayed 2-3 of the same invite on my calendar. The seems to have stopped recently and then this latest update cause the complication to stop working. But hey, we got a calculator out of the update (which should have been on this thing all along). OK rant over.

I did this to fix mine:

1. On the iPhone go to setting > Passwords and Accounts > then for each account with a calendar, I turned them off. I originally only did this with my work calendar as my Google calendar does not have much on it. I fought with if for a while until I turned off all calendars.
2. Next I turned the watch off and back on again.
3. Then under the watch app > General > Reset > I performed "Reset Sync Data" while the calendars were still off. My thinking here was that it might sync a blank slate to the watch.
4. Next I went back to Passwords and Accounts and enabled the calendars again.
5. Now wait for everything to sync.

At this point the complication was showing correctly and the calendars were correct. I added a test event about 30 minutes out in the future and the complication updated. Hope this helps someone else and I hope it stays fixed (my guess based on experience is that it will break again at some point)

I miss my Pebble watch. Worked perfectly all the time and did every thing I needed.

This worked for me. I upgraded to iOS 13.1 and then did what you mentioned - settings > passwords & accounts > exchange account > toggled calendar off and deleted the events from my iPhone. After a little while, I then toggled the calendar back on and a few minutes after that had them all appear in my calendar app, at which point my watch complication started showing the next meeting as it should.

To test it, I moved an upcoming meeting around and saw the changes reflected on the watch complication within 5 to 10 seconds. I also added a meeting tomorrow and after clicking on the complication to open calendar, saw the new meeting. I'll report back if it goes back to "no more events," but so far so good.

For what it's worth, I have an iPhone X running 13.1 and Apple Watch Series 4 running 6.0.

I had the exact same symptoms as you, and also have mobile iron for work - most fixes didn't work (resyncing data or removing and adding the watch to my iphone) but one of the other suggestions actually worked for me, surprisingly. Going to Settings -> Passwords and Accounts -> selecting my work account and then turning off and on the "calendar" switch for syncing worked for me. It was on, so I turned it off, then I waited for my watch to no longer show any of those events (only took a few seconds), then I waited a minute or so, and then turned the calendar synch switch back on. I checked my watch immediately and it showed no events, then I didn't look at my watch for about 30 minutes, and when I checked it after that time, it was no longer saying "no events" on the main apple watch face. Hope that works for you. I had mobile iron installed throughout this process, I never messed with that.

I have found that after toggling the calendar sync under the exchange account my complication started working again, of course only after the 10 minutes or so that downloading all my events took. I don’t know if it is only a temporary solution and it will brake again, but it now shows tomorrow’s first event.

iPhone 11 Pro and Apple Watch 4 with cellular, Had same issue. At least temporarily, toggling all calendars off in iPhone settings and waiting until the calendar on the Apple Watch shows no more appointments, then toggling calendars back on got my personal and work calendars showing again in the complication. Note my company uses Microsoft Intune MDM. I will reply to this reply if they go away again.

watchOS 6.0.1 fixed my issue.

Clearly for me, the issue is due to Microsoft Intune, I removed my devise management settings from in-tune and the calendar complication started working, But i had to add my devise back quickly and right after i noticed that it stopped working. so, any mobile devise management settings/profile will make this fail - be it Intune, MobileIron, Workspace one etc

@Apple - please fix the issue. This is a deal breaker!!

Good news/bad news: It’s not actually MobileIron that’s the problem, but the company Device Management. Therefore, here’s a temporary workaround: delete device management and restart Apple Watch. This will fix issue. Then re-install device management from Mobile Iron (which you do not need to delete). You’ll notice that the Apple Watch still works. However, this is likely a temporary solution, and restarting Apple Watch or resyncing data will likely break the complication again.

Same problem for me (I'm using MobileIron too). AW series 5 with iPhone iOS13. Got different calendars (Gmail, iCloud, etc..) none of my events show up on the complications. EXCEPT FOR ONE: the iPhone-only Calendar which shows up on top of the list of Calendars on the iPhone Calendar app. If the event belongs to that iPhone-only (internal) calendar and if it's not an ALL-DAY event, it shows up on the complication. Otherwise, "no events". I hope Apple fixes this.

I used to be able to delete and reinstall MDM and watch calendar complication would work, but not anymore. That is, it works when I uninstall MDM, but as soon as I reinstall, it stops working! Really hope there is a fix soon: calandra Apple Watch complication is a very useful feature for me.

One workaround that has worked out for me is that I use the Outlook app on my phone for work emails & calendar. Outlook has a complication that can show your meetings as well.

Only downside is that my family calendar is on iOS and those events won't show on the watch with this workaround.
