passbook on watch isn't updating boarding passes. I deleted an old boarding pass on my phone and added a new one today. watch still has the old pass and the new one never showed on my watch.
tried switching between mirror my phone and custom...no luck
Apple Watch, iOS 8.3
I Have the exact same problem
I restarted my watch and the passbook updated. (Hold down the side button for a few seconds to get sliders that let you shut down, go to power reserve, etc.)
Thanks RSFinn - that worked!!!
Restarting the watch works, but please fix this Apple. I fly Southwest a lot and it's annoying to have to reset the watch every time I need a new boarding pass. This is a pattern, not a one-time fix.

This is a user-based technical support community. To send feedback to Apple about this issue, you can submit the form here:
The iPhone and Apple Watch do not sync passes automatically unless you manually enable that option. You have to add your passes to each device independently, because the cards are stored in the device's Secure Element chip.
Could you walk me through this manual process? I'd love to be able to send my boarding pass to my watch without rebooting my watch.

This is incorrect. Payment cards need to be added separately to each device for use via Apple Pay, but the same does not apply to passes.
Passes in Wallet on iPhone automatically sync to Apple Watch. On your iPhone, in the Watch app, go to: My Watch > Wallet & Apple Pay > check that Mirror my iPhone is selected under the Notifications heading (this is the default selection).

I have the mirror setting, so it seems to just be a bug. I thought at first I was just impatien, but this last time I added the boarding pass to my wallet the night before the flight. The workaround for now is to restart the watch.
Restart the watch with each pass use is a real pain in the neck, but I have to do this often with stuck passes. This is a bug in the watch, which needs fixing.
I even find if I pass by a Starbucks their pass stays in the notification centre for hours, or more.
thank you but this did not work with me even a forced restart as well as resync of all data via the iphone app
e.g. i have only 4 of 8 boarding passes synced on my apple watch and not the actual ones ;-)
If you have not yet done so, it may help to update your iPhone and Apple Watch to the latest software, starting with your iPhone:
Update the iOS software on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support

but it is not working ;-(
