Apple Watch Calendar not Syncing to Watch Face

Hi,


I have an apple watch and i'm using the modular face, and I keep my calendar in the middle of the modual. Normally I can see my calendar events displayed because I use Google Calendar, but I have my Apple Calendar synced to it. You will see I have it setup in the Watch app to display my Calendar, you'll see in my screenshot that my Calendar app has lots of events listed in it correctly, and then you'll see in my screenshot that my watch face shows I have zero calendar events today. I have checked and my watch has the latest software, and so does my phone, so I'm confused what is causing this!


Thanks for your help.

This may be premature, BUT, I MAY have figured this out. Before I did this, my watch was displaying “No more events”.


go to settings

go to passwords and accounts

Go to iCloud

Go to iCloud

Under “Apps using iCloud”, turn off the Calendars toggle, (don’t delete anything when asked).

Then turn it back on.


now, hopefully, it didn’t screw anything up with all of my synced and shared calendars, but so far, all I know is after I did that, my next calendar event showed up on my watch!

I tried toggling Calendar on/off in iCloud. No success. I unpaired then repaired my watch to my phone. No success. Really frustrating since Calendar is one of the main reasons i got Apple Watch. I have many meetings all day most days and I always liked being able to just glance at m Watch to figure out where I needed to go. Now I have to pull out my phone.


Hopefully there will be a fix for this with a soon-to-be released upgrade. It used to work fine until the latest iOS upgrade

I called Apple Support and finally got it to work. Here is what I had to do:

Here was the critical step for me:


OS 13 and iPadOS

After each step, check your contacts, calendars, or reminders. 

Refresh your contacts and calendars

To refresh your contacts, open Contacts and swipe down on the list.

To refresh your contact groups:

  1. Open the Contacts app.
  2. Tap Groups in the upper-left corner.
  3. Swipe down on the list to refresh your groups.

To refresh your calendars:

  1. Open the Calendar app.
  2. Tap the Calendars tab.
  3. Swipe down on the list to refresh your events.

My last weeks experience:


The watch stops synchronizing once a week more or less.

After straggling with unpair-repair, etc. i gave up and didnt try to solve the problem. 10 hours later the calendar started to synchronize again. No idea why.

Yesterday it stops to sync again, i tried to refresh the calendar, didn't help. few hours later it started to sync again.

Adding myself to this list. I have tried all the suggestions multiple times and, while some resolve the issue temporarily, my calendar doesn’t sync to my watch. Another process that sometimes works is going to your watch app on your device, tap ‘General’, tap ‘Reset’, tap ‘Reset Sync Data’. It will appear to do nothing when you tap it but evidentially it goes and re-syncs your calendar and contact data from your device. Also, it may take a little time to fully sync so you may not see your data immediately on your watch. Again, this worked a couple times but reverts back to no events on the Apple Watch again.


I am on Series 5 watch with latest updates. I have even joined beta program to see if updates in beta have resolved the issue and so far it hasn’t. :(

I finally seem to have resolved the issue on my watch. My main calendar is my work calendar, which is a Windows Office 365 based system. I went into that account and turned off the Calendar, then turned it back on (I had already tried this for my iCloud calendar). All of my work related events disappeared from my iPhone, which was a little disconcerting, and it took a couple of hours for them to reappear on my phone. Initially they did not appear on my watch, but the next morning they were all there, and so far (several days later) they are still there and appear to be syncing. I’ll add follow up in a week or so.

i thought this was resolved in watch os 6.1.1 - I got almost 5 days with the events showing perfectly but overnight the “no events this week” is back. have submitted feedback to Apple (you can create a shortcut to open feedback on non beta versions) I hope some other people having this issue could submit feedback this way as I don’t think Apple read these forums.
