Calendar complication not working with watchOS 6 update

After updating my iPhone XS to iOS 13 and my apple watch 4 to watchOS 6, the calendar complication on my watch faces does not show any upcoming events. When I tap the complication, it launches the calendar app on my watch and I can see all of my upcoming events for the day just fine. This used to work before the update, but not now.

If have tried restarting both devices and it still doesn’t work. I have tried unpairing and re-pairing my watch and it still doesn’t work. I have messed with all the settings in the calendar app and I have tried changing the complication to something else and the changing it back, still doesn’t work.

Anyone else experiencing this issue? Anyone solved this issue?

Thanks!

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:

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.
Next I turned the watch off and back on again.
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.
Next I went back to Passwords and Accounts and enabled the calendars again.
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.

Yes that did it for me .. only one extra step I had to do after removing all device calendars - was to “Reset Sync data” on the watch. After that I enabled the calendar one by one and voila they appeared on the Complication. Thanks a ton Brandon!! You made my day.

Same error here. I also have a company phone. I have updated to iOS 13.1.1 and WatchOS 6. I have tried all the suggestions above without any luck. I can still not see events on the face of my Apple Watch. The Company I am working at use Workspace One (has just migrated from MobileIron).

I hope this issue is solved very fast.

Similar issue here. (Watch Series 4, WatchOS 6.0) Using MobileIron (as the default calendar) as well as a couple "internet calendars" including Cozi. Complications showing 'no events'. Calendar "app" on the watch also shows nothing. Tried reset, and calendar on/off Fix as suggested, as well as a few other general resets. Nothing helped.

...Weird thing is, every once in a while during the past week, it DID work. I'd look down and see the complication with the next event showing. Calendar app on Watch also showed all events. But, shortly thereafter, back to "no events". Also, I think once when it was working, I changed Watch face, to a different sort of Calendar complication, and it stopped working. I wasn't really paying attention that day, as I thought 13.1.1 might include WatchOS 6.1 to fix this....

Upgraded to 13.1.1, no improvement.

This (and notifications) are the two killer apps for the Watch. I hope we get a fix soon! For now, I'm stuck looking at my PHONE for my next calendar event, like a caveman.

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!!

I also installed iOS 13.1.2 and watchOS 6.0.1, but for my work calendar it is now random which meetings are shown in the calendar on the watch, which also impacts the complications. I have tried the same tricks toggeling calendar and resetting sync data, but still only one third of my work meetings are visible on the watch. All meeting are visible on the iPhone. Anyone got same experience?

6.01 update didn't initially fix it for me. Rebooted watch & phone, still nothing.

Then, about 2 days later, it started working... It's been steady and working for a couple days now... (*holds breath*)

I see that people are advising that WatchOS 6.1 has fixed this issue. Any advice for those of us still using an Apple Watch series 1 running WatchOS 4.3.2? This is the maximum OS version this series of watch can take and the Outlook calendar complication still doesn’t display correctly for me :-(. Just shows the word “Outlook” and not the next upcoming meeting details.

Still a no go. Just unpaired and set up watch as a New Watch. Still broken. Some intermittent calendar entries show from work calendar (MobileIron), some do not. Both complications and calendar 'app' on the watch are intermittent. Frustrating....

Dec 31, 2019 7:23 AM in response to jathon0815

I can’t get any complications from Apple to work on my new I watch 5. Everything is updated. Can’t even look at stocks on watch. It will work every once in a while. I have had to download independent reminder and calendar apps to see on watch for time being. Any advice is welcome but it looks like until Apple fixes this we are all screwed.
