Reminders not syncing between iPhone and Macbook, but sync between iPhone and iWatch

Hi there,

I have an iWatch 4, and when I add a reminder using it, they are being synced to the iPhone.

The problem is, that they are not being synced to my Macbook. Anyone knows why?

Thanks in advance.

MacBook Pro 15”, macOS 10.15

Reminders not synching between iPhone and Watch. How do I get Reminders to synch to Watch? Reminders ARE synching between iPhone (XR with iOS 15.6.1) and MacBook Air (macOS 13.0.1). Reminders are NOT synching between iPhone and Watch Series 3 (watchOS 8.7.1). All other apps between iPhone and Watch are and have been synching with no issue, therefore I am assuming that there are no issues with the associated Apple ID account being shared between the two devices. I have 51 reminders across multiple Reminder lists visible and synching between iPhone and MacBook. When I open the app on my watch none of my lists are shown and only 1 reminder is shown. The one reminder appears to be a very old Reminder artifact - not currently on my Reminder lists. Thanks for the help.

Apple Watch reminders do not sync My Apple Watch series 5, running WatchOS 6 will not sync with iCloud. My iPhone 11, and all my Macs running Catalina are all synced properly. I notice that the watch does not even have a way to create a new reminder from the watch. It's as if the watch is in a perpetual state of attempting to sync but never actually completing. I have tried unpairing and repairing with my iPhone. I have tried turning off reminders from iCloud on the iPhone and turning off both devices, then turning them back on again, and turning reminders back on from iCloud (meaning. Settings -> iCloud -> Reminders on the phone). I've also noticed that when the phone is not set to use reminders from the cloud that my watch and phone will sync with each other without problems. So it's not a connectivity issue. I'm unsure what to do next.

upgraded to iPhone 15 pro max - now reminders don't synch with apple watch Earlier today I replaced my iPhone 12 Pro Max with an iPhone 15 pro max. Everything about this seemed to go smoothly…. except that reminders now won’t sync to (or from) the watch. Reminders still sync to my iPad and my Mac. Also, everything else that should sync to the watch has done so (e.g. contacts). The watch is an Ultra (last year’s version), and both devices are updated to the most recent Vera of the OS. I’m baffled. How do I fix this?
