Apple Watch Series 5, Reminders DOES NOT WORK

Hi, I am unable to save any reminders in my Apple watch series 5. I can create them, but they never save, they just disappear. Nor do they sync from my other devices. All devices have the latest updates. Any ideas?

Ok, so after reading other posts regarding similar problems, I was able to solve the issue by toggling reminders to ‘off’ in iCloud on all my devices. I then created a new default list called TEST in reminders on my iPhone and then toggled iCloud back on on all devices. My watch then decided to join the reminders party! I then deleted the TEST list and reverted back to Reminders as the default list. All good 😃

Hello littleBlackcloud,


Based on your post it sounds like you’re unable to save Reminders on your Apple Watch as expected. I’m happy to help you isolate this issue a bit further. 


Have you tried restarting both your Apple Watch and iPhone one after the other to see if that helps? If so, are you able to create and save Reminders on you iPhone as expected?


If you create a Reminder on your iPhone, do you have access to the Reminder on the Apple Watch? When you create a Reminder on any of the devices can you see the Reminder signing into iCloud using a web browser? This can help you isolate the issue to the Apple Watch as well.


If this turns out to be isolated to the Apple Watch, you can try unpairing the Apple Watch and setting up again to test, as a new Apple Watch. Take a look: Unpair and erase your Apple Watch


Keep me updated on your findings.


Cheers!
