Calendar Not Syncing

My Apple Watch is not updating with changes to my calendar. It has had a few hours to update, but still shows the old time for meetings I have scheduled today. I've restarted my watch and my iPhone 6+. Is anyone else experiencing this? Is there a way to force a re-sync of calendar data between my iPhone and watch?


Thanks!

Apple Watch, iOS 8.3

Yep -- that was it (I think). Unblocking it to actually sync to my watch had the unintended consequence of then triggering another issue (read: major bug) with "invitations": for some (stupid) reason, it decided to notify me for *every* unreplied invitation going back however long! So, for all those instances of repeating weekly meetings that I have not replied to, it synced them all to my watch as notifications (seemingly ignoring my iPhone preference which I was mirroring by default, which is to ignore invitations from my work calendar on my phone). Weird. So it took *forever* to eventually start showing the data (it really caused other problems in the interim; my watch was having serious problems doing anything that needed to communicate with my iPhone during that time).. but once it finally started presenting the alerts for all the previous invitations (I mean, we're talking about a hundred at least), I realized that was the problem now (flood gates = open).


So, I went back into the Apple Watch app on my iPhone (in somewhat of a panic) and edited the Calendar settings to explicitly disable alerting on invitation -- and voila! After a minute or two of waiting for it to re-sync, it seems to finally actually work!!!!!!


Thanks.

This button has worked for me in the past, but now seems to do nothing. I do not see the message indicating that it is re-syncing the data. Noting is removed from the watch and re-added. I updated on 5/17 to the latest phone and watch os, 9.3.2 and 2.2.1. I think my sync broke then.


An earlier reply indicated that their problem may have been caused by their declining an event that was previously accepted getting stuck on their watch. I think that may be what was also breaking my sync. I had an even in my gmail calendar that I had accepted, but then declined on the browser. It was stuck on my watch. I just now declined it from the watch calendar app and it is gone.


Think my calendar is correct now, but the "Reset Sync Data" button seems to do nothing still.
