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.


Suddenly late to all her meetings in Seattle,

Resolved.


Had all same problems discussed in this thread and tried all the same steps, but only resolved it after going full Rambo on the problem by unpairing and re-pairing. 100% fixed and fairly painless. In 30 minutes I was able to restore from a backup and then only needed to re-add cards to ApplePay:


In Watch app tap into your watch eg Robert’s Apple Watch pic1


Tap the info button for the Watch pic2


Unpair Apple Watch


(from here I go from memory cause I’m not going thru it again)


it takes time to unpair and then the Watch app prompts you to pair a watch using iPhone camera or manually, then restore from backup. For me it was seamless.


Good luck

Update re calendar sync issue.

After turning iCloud off and on again I got calendar events showing on my watch again. BUT... after a few hours it disappeared with the ‘no events today’ showing . I turned iCloud off and on again but that doesn’t work anymore. I guess it’s going to be a lengthy Session with Apple support. Not happy.

I have tried every single thing on here and nothing has worked. The only way I could get my appointments to show up on my watch was if I went to my laptop, opend my calendars (outlook and google) and entered the appointments there. They showed up immediately on my watch. Very disappointing because the schedule was one of the most important features on my watch and part of my motivation to even buy one in the first place. Just sad that this hasn't been fixed - I can no longer enter appointments on my phone if I want to see them on the watch.

I have this issue too and its been going on for a couple years. My watch software is up to date. My outlook calendar syncs to my iphone just fine but every week or so the apple watch loses the sync to the iphone calendar and just says "no more events" when the rest of the day has several events. The fix (turn calendar off on iphone; reset watch data; turn calendar back on) works for a week or so but then it breaks again. Very frustrating. PLEASE LISTEN AND FOCUS ON THIS BUG APPLE. From the threads, this goes back years.

This is happening to me too. I don’t know if it is the watch or the phone calendar. I have the IFTTT app set up to enter a calendar entry when I arrive to work and leave work to keep track of my work hours. I have had trouble with the events showing up in my phone calendar, so I am inclined to believe that there’s an issue with the phone providing the data to the watch. I have tried rebooting both devices, turning Bluetooth off and on, hiding and in hiding synced calendars, toggling between Mirror my iPhone and Custom settings in the Watch app.

Another weird thing is that, even though nothing shows up on my watch, I still get notifications for calendar events on schedule.

Phone is on iOS 13.2. Watch is on 4.3.2 (which is a separate issue all by itself - supposedly OS 6.2 is supposed to be out but the Watch app still says I’m up to date).

I am having a similar experience in the fact that 15 minutes before the meeting I am getting a notice on my watch, but it says no events on my calendar on my watch. I noticed that next week I now have some meetings scheduled for earlier in the week showing up on a later date, so this is getting worse not better.


I have done all of the things you tried, rebooting both devices, toggling between micro and custom, makes no difference.

Add me to the list. Last week it was missing some, but not all appointments on my calendar; new ones would be there but not recurring meetings that were established long ago. Then the new ones stopped showing up. Both iPhone XS Plus and AppleWatch are up to date WRT OS. I've restarted watch and phone; toggled around the "mirror Phone" and "custom" setting in the watch app; hard restarted watch; unpaired and re-paired watch; reset watch to factory settings; NOTHING! And I sometimes get a meeting alert (if it's a newer meeting), even though nothing is appearing on my watch's calendar. Is this Apple's way to get me to buy a new watch when my existing one isn't even 2 years old?!?!? Grrr.

Add me to the list. Current 11 Pro on latest OS, and Watch 5 on latest OS.


Most frustrating is that EVERYTHING works for a few days or so, then craters again. INCLUDING completely reseting and repairing the watch.


Between not having accurate data, and then just how bad the Siri Watch Face has become at showing me more useful things that what time the sun is setting (REALLY, that's the ONLY thing you can think to show me), I'm starting to think a less expensive, more basic fitness tracker would be a better call.

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
