Calendar events not syncing after upgrade to watch 2.0

Upgraded my Apple Watch to v2.0 yesterday and immediately noted that the calendar complication was not functioning as expected. In fact, after using the complication to reach the calendar app, the only calendar with data was the birthday calendar. None of my work (MS Exchange) or personal (iCloud) calendars are available. Interestingly, calendar invites and notifications still come through the watch post upgrade, just not the events themselves.


I have tried a reset of the contact/calendar data, erase and restore from backup, erase and setup as a new watch, erase, unpair and restore from a previous (watch os 1.0) version. All to no avail.


Logging the issue in the hopes that someone else has seen this and has a workaround. Apple support recommended that I go into the Retail store, but I have doubts that this would accomplish much of anything.

Another one on the list, and my calendar was working correctly prior to the OS 2.0 update - syncing with gmail and IBM verse.

Following the watch upgrade, no calendar entries at all.

I have done everything described - powered down both phone and watch; unpaired and repaired; and completely resetting the watch to factory.


Looking forward to update 2.1 in the next day or so I hope !!!

Same issue here!


I had a scheduled call with an Apple rep this morning to talk about my issues with the watch tracking my running distance so I brought the calendar issue up too.


He seemed surprised and we did the typical reset and re-pairing. Still not working. He said they are not hearing of this issue and I said that there are several posts on Apples support community so it must be a pretty big issue for many people. He's escalating the issue and calling back.


Ugh, this watch is driving me crazy.

This is impacting me too.. I have mobile iron from work which syncs to Exchange via active sync, pre upgrade all worked fine - post upgrade its all gone..


However - I have found a way round it.. using the paid app FANTASTICAL - this app works .. all my calendars now sync and it has a glances screen with a nice view of the calenders...


Feel totally let down by apple - spent an hour on the phone and the best the guy could do was tell me to uninstall my exchange connection..


Paid a reasonable amount of money for a watch that apple rendered fairly useless in a badly delivered update...


Tempted to just take it back and get my dosh back.
