My iwatch is syncing only one calendar

my iwatch is syncing only one calendar while it should mirror my iphone where 5 calendars are in use. Any ideas how to force my watch sync all other calendars?

Apple Watch, watchOS 2.1

Hi


Apple Watch shows events for all calendars that you use on your iPhone, combining them into one calendar view. It shows events that you have scheduled or have been invited to for today and for the next week. You can also see the days of the current month as a full month calendar view.


If the Calendars app is not syncing some events to your watch, try these steps:


- On your iPhone, in the Watch app, go to: My Watch > General > Reset > tap on Reset Sync Data.

- Nothing will seem to happen, but the process will run in the background (invisibly to the user), so allow a minute or so.


Also check your settings. For example:

- On your iPhone, in the Watch app, go to: My Watch > Calendar > you may wish to choose Custom and to enable each of the options.


It may then also help to restart both your iPhone and your watch. Turn both devices off together, then restart your iPhone first:

- To turn your watch off: press and hold the side button until you see the Power Off slider; drag the slider to turn off.

- To turn it back on: press and hold the side button until you see the logo.

If any issue persists, also check:


  • On your iPhone:
    • Contacts app: your contact card contains your name, phone number, Apple ID email address and any other email addresses that are associated with your other calendars.
    • Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars > in the Contacts section, your contact card is shown under My Info.
    • Settings > General > Siri > your contact card is shown under My Info.
  • On your Apple Watch: ask Siri "what is my name?"
  • You may also wish to enable iCloud Contacts and Calendars (iPhone: Settings > iCloud).


After making any changes, it may help to again reset sync data and restart both devices (both as previously described).
