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.

I wound up getting a new Watch. It already had 2.0 installed. I decided to just enter Calendar events directly on my iPhone and not sync with Outlook via iTunes. Even though it is a pain to keep two separate Calendars (on my desktop and iPhone), at least the Calendar data is on my Watch. Then, Apple released 2.0.1. Now I don't know if I should risk going back to syncing my iPhone with the desktop. If I try syncing and it doesn't work, is there a way to restore the Watch to its "out of the box" state, not just erase the data I inputted? BTW, I do not have a corporate managed device. I am just using MS Outlook 13, off the shelf as a home user.

I had two pleasant surprises yesterday. First one, I worked with our IT group and had an MDM profile installed on my phone, and as soon as that was placed my Exchange emails started coming through on the watch. Not sure why a managed profile would now allow it to flow to the phone. Tt was on the phone as an non-managed account, not sure why only a managed profile allows it to the phone. Either way, it's working now. The only down side to the managed profile is that I now have to provide my iTunes password even for free items due to the restrictions in the profile. Good trade so I can have the entries flow to the watch.


Second surprise is that a member of Apple engineering called me to discuss this since I had a case previously, and they said they noticed that I was still having issues. Good to know that Apple is still roaming these parts!
