Apple Watch App stuck on "Apple Watch is Syncing" screen, but is not actually syncing to an Apple Watch, how do I fix this?

I cant do anything because this screen comes up everytime. Already have done every reset possible. Erased network settings, backups, etc. Phone and watch have been going haywire since new ios update. Products are too expensive to not work.

Still having the same issue. Apple support told me to do a hard reset on my watch so that is my next step

Thank you for clarifying that for us. Are you able to restart your watch and iPhone to see if this resolves the issue? If your watch is unresponsive, are you able to force restart your watch? This article shows how: https://s.apple.com/dE3O3n9R4L

Which exact version of watchOS are you updated to?

I had a call with Apple Support yesterday and they told me that my series 2 watch is no longer compatible with my IPhone 11 Pro. They said since my watch cannot be upgraded to watch OS 7 the watch app won’t work and I can no longer sync calendars, change my watch faces and change complications. I don’t think they know what they are talking about. I did not have this issue with IOS14.0.0 it started with IOS 14.0.1 They told me I should upgrade my watch. That is crazy it still keeps time, gets text, gets calls, tracks my steps and heart rate. Hopefully this is addressed in the next update. If what they said is true then I should not get this screen when I open the watch app I should get a picture that says sorry your watch is no longer compatible to upgrade go to the Apple store .

I am running IOS14.0.1 on my Iphone 11 Pro. I have a series 2 watch running version 6.2.8. I am seeing some calendar events synched to my watch but not all. When I go into the watch app on my phone to resynch my calendar I get a screen that says Apple Watch Syncing. Your Apple watch is almost ready. You'll get an alert when its done, so you can use your Iphone as you normally would. If I hit back it gives me an option to cancel or reset. I am getting text alerts on my phone but not calendar events.

I’ve reset all setting both my phone & watch so my watch is in factory mode now & needs to pair with my phone..but thats the thing, the watch app on my phone still syncing..last time i updated my watch to watchOS 6.2.8.. i want to update to OS7 but i need to agree with the terms in the watch app..and untill now my watch app is still stuck on ‘apple watch is syncing’

Yup i agree with you..the notification should be ‘your watch is no longer compatible’..well its been a week now and im still havin the same issue of that syncing..screen still the same..my ip11 updated to 14.0.1, my s4 also updated to OS7 but still nothing change..i called Apple support, i brought to few mobile repair service, they all said the same thing, “you need to wait for another software update”..so for now i hve to wait for another update and let the apple support finish eating their apple😑

I erased and reset all settings on my phone and unpairs and repaired my watch and that fixed it. I am able to open my watch app and update faces and complications and I am now getting my calendar synched.

I backed up my phone and then un-pared my watch general settings reset. Then I erased all content and settings on my phone. I then restored my phone from the back up and set up my watch again and everything works fine.

does your watch app on your iphone still syncing?? Or have you fixed it?? Cause we are in the same issue here

I am running 6.2.8 I have a series 2 watch so I’m not sure I can upgrade.

After u erased did you got back your backed up icloud??

Yes I backed up before I erased and restored and then I restored from that back up.

Hello. I have the same problem. Are you able to fix it?

I had to disconnect and reset my watch and I had to reset my phone and then I re paired my watch and everything works now.

How did you reset the watch what did you reset first ?
