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.

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

I am having the same exact issue with my watch, I called Apple support last week and opened a ticket. I've tried everything to resolve this on my own, the only calendar that is populating on my watch is my work Exchange account. My account through Google, with multiple calendars, is not populating at all. I'm glad to see that I'm not alone and really hope Apple can resolve this issue through an update, my watch is almost useless without the calendars.

Add me to this list. :(


I have a brand new Series 5. I have the calendar on my Infograph Modular watch face and it keeps freezing. It happened yesterday - froze on the last meeting of the day. So I re-synced me calendar today. Everything was fine for a few hours. Then it froze again after my last meeting.


I thought it had something to do with the notifications? I tried to disable all the notifications except for meeting reminders because I was getting notifications for everything (invites, replies, etc). Once I 'customized' the notifications, that is when I started having troubles. Has anyone else noticed this?

I keep having the same issue off and on. I have a series 5 with an iPhone 8. All updates have been installed. I have toggled the calendar on and off, I have removed my email accounts and resynced. I have restarted both my iPhone and the watch. It seems to work for a bit but then starts missing calendar events. The last time I went through this process I had meetings at 8, 9 and 10. The 9 am meeting was displaying on the watch, but no other appts. then I resynced everything, now only the 10 am meeting shows. What is going on?

I have the same issue. Working great up until yesterday. Now, it only shows a couple synced entries.


I've tried restarting my watch and iPhone, re-syncing data, force restarting.


I just erased my watch and set it up as a brand new watch, and it still doesn't sync the calendar events.


I have an iPhone 11 Pro, Series 5, iCloud and Exchange accounts.


Very frustrating!

I have the same problems- reset sync data, unpair, new watch (Gen 5), iPhone 6s Plus.....multiple check-ins with support, etc. The calendar will sync for a day or two, and then stop syncing. One assistant suggested unchecking some of my many calendars, which worked for a week, but now O have the same problem, “no more events today” when I have events. I am looking forward to the next iOS update.

This is so disappointing from Apple. They are not serious About this problem. This is a fundamental feature that should be on their top priority list. The first similar complain I read was from 2015, and 5 years later they keep carrying over the same failures. Try to talk to A manager on the customer support side, He or she might be able to raise the case with higher level of priority. Good luck.

This is still an issue and I won’t even consider buying a new watch until this is fixed. It’s such a basic issue, it’s completely unacceptable that a device of this cost can’t even sync calendar events reliably. I should not have to reset anything turn anything off or on, and certainly not multiple times in a week just to keep such a fundamental feature of the watch working.
