Date is missing as complication in Watch OS7

I agree, this is ridiculous. Why make something more complicated than it was before? I don’t use Apple’s default calendar so I removed it.

And you still don't have to use it. It just needs to be on your phone. You just have to leave in stored somewhere in a folder you never look at (or the App Library). Not complicated at all!

Also, never had Apple calendar on my iPhone. But, did have the date & day of the week on my Apple Watch before last 2 “update”. Don’t need another calendar on my phone. I do NEED date & day on my watch!

thanks

That is ridiculous! I don't use my Apple Calendar, so it is a waste to have to do this just to get the date on my watch!

I’ve uninstalled and reinstalled it 2x without success

I can’t get the date to appear either. Why oh why do Apple keep changing things that work perfectly well - infuriating

Lost date on Apple watch

I agree . This is ridiculous. Why are we forced to download useless apps for this to work ?

Doesn’t work. I have the calendar downloaded but still can’t get the date on my watch - rubbish !!

I am in 100% agreement. This is a bs answer. Spend tons on a smart watch that can’t tell the date without a useless app install on your phone. Give me a break!

This is just ridiculous to expect one to use Apple calendar on phone to use a watch face with date. Please fix this!!

Missing Day & Date from the face of my Apple Watch seems impossible to restore. HELP

Wow what a crazy round about way to fix this problem Apple 😡 but I want to thank you for this response because it worked!

Phone and watch are up-to-date. Downloaded iCalendar and installed it on both. Still no date on my watch face. Very frustrated.

ditto. more than frustrated with the i watch and phone. i want my android phone back. too many problems with apples
