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:


  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.
