Calendars not syncing after watchOS 2 update?

Successful 2.0 update. iPhone 6 (iOS 9).


Calendars (iCloud, Gmail, and Exchange) not syncing.


  • Unpaired and reset as new
  • Turned off and deleted calendars; turned them back on
  • Multiple reboots
  • Reset sync data multiple times


None of these fix attempts work. I have read that there may be some MDM-related issues.

Couple of observations :

  1. Prior to the update to WatchOS 2.0 the calendar entries were showing up on the Apple Watch. This included both personal as well as company calendar entries.
  2. I have some MDM policies on my phone for my corporate email.
  3. Subscribed Google Calendars e.g. Holidays In Singapore shows up on Apple Watch but not for the rest of my Google Calendar entries.

This is a particularly vexing issue because the calendar notifications are the major use case for me. I am a business user... I live and die by my many calendar entries. I cannot be alone in this. The watch calendar was buggy and unreliable in 1.0.1. I had to reset my sync data every week or so or random calendar entries would not sync. What good is a calendar if it is not reliable? Now in 2.0, no entries whatsoever are syncing, Net result, the calendar remains a joke and the watch remains in the toy rather than tool category. I would imagine lots of business users have similar MDM restrictions.
