Some calendar events not showing on Apple watch

Hello,


I have two calendars (Exchange & iCloud) on my iPhone that I view on my Apple watch. I noticed today that some events are not showing on my watch. As far as I can tell the events that are not showing are invites that were sent by others that I have accepted. Although, some invites are showing and some are not.


So far I have rebooted both the phone and the watch and also reduced the number of calendars I was viewing on the phone. I was viewing 4 calendars.


Any help would be appreciated.


Thanks.

Just purchased an Apple Watch Series 3 running Watch OS 4.0.1 and encountered this bug within the first hour. Outlook meeting invites from another person that I have accepted do not appear on the Watch calendar unless I toggle the entry to private and back to not private. This bug means I cannot trust that the calendar on my watch is accurate. Very disappointing.

I spoke again with Apple support yesterday, although this time with the 4th level of support, and they have confirmed finally that they acknowledge there is an issue with how MDM is working, and suspect it could require a fix on both Apple's and external MDM soft systems to resolve.


Apple wanted screen shots of my MDM profile and restrictions to help clarify the issue, and said to expect another patch shortly in the future - not sure if it will be an iPhone or Watch update


For the IBMers out there, I have raised this internally to our Traveler team, and they are already engaged with Apple on this through our partnership.

I have the same issue as everyone else. Calendar entries appear on the iPhone correctly but are not showing on the Apple Watch. Unfortunately I have now lost confidence on the calendar on the watch and have to confirm all days meetings on the iPhone before continuing.


The meeting appear on the iPhone correctly but does not appear on the Apple Watch. The original meeting request comes from Lotus Notes and I am using Awesync to sync my Notes calendar with a Google Calendar. The google calendar is then synced with the iPhone, which in turn, displays them on the watch. Long way around, but it works (most of the time).


In Lotus Notes, if I copy the missing entry to a new entry (same time, place, date, etc) that new duplicate entry filters down to my phone and appears correctly on the Apple Watch. For some reason, there must something wrong with the original meeting request is is not allowing it to be displayed on the watch.

The iWatch only sync well with the default iphone's calender. Goto: Setting->Mail, Contacts, Calenders->Default Calender, Choose whatever account you want to create your events in (e.g. Work in iCloud). Then in future events that you create in the Calender, just make sure it is created in the same account.


It is annoying and Apple, please fix this problem in WatchOS3.
