Marking reminders as complete on watch does not mark them as complete on the phone?

Like the title says. Whenever I mark a reminder as completed on my watch, it still notifies me on my phone and shows that it hasn't been marked completed. I've tried restarting both devices, unpairing and pairing again, I've made sure my iCloud is signed in, and everything else I could think of. Help?

The last I would try would be to unpair and pair again but by choosing not to restore a backup of the watch, i.e. you'd pair it as a brand new watch. You'd loose the previous watch settings but you can easily recreate them.


Also, don't hesitate to uninstall the Watch app on your iPhone and to download it again from the App Store.
