How can I get it back to my other devices?

The problem goes back to an issue Apple has had with their cloud. As a result, one of my reminder lists from Reminders was lost from iCloud.

Talked many times about it with Apple and they can't do anything, as this list is not in their backups. I have no backups either.

Only thing I have is the reminder list on my Watch. It's gone from all other devices. The reason I still have it on my watch was that I had seen it disappearing in front of my eyes on my Mac and then immediately ran to disconnect my iPhone, iPad and Watch from the internet.

Was not fast enough on my iPad (it got synced and the list got removed), I managed to save it on my iPhone (but later reconnected the iPhone to the internet, making the list disappear), and managed to save it on my Watch - which I then proceeded to not sync for two months or maybe even more.

Finally I did reconnect the Watch to Bluetooth and Wifi after a long time, and Reminders have synced but the list didn't disappear. It however also hasn't reappeared anywhere else.

The problem is that I can't read it on my Watch. It only shows the first few words. Changing text size makes no difference. Is it perhaps possible to let Siri read your entire reminders in a specific reminders list? I thought this may be the solution … I haven't managed to make it do that yet.

Any help is appreciated!
 
You have asked about this before and the answer is the same. You can't get back the lost files since you don't have a saved backup.

I did ask before, but the news is that I still have them on my Watch now, even after syncing. So they might not be completely lost! I was hoping for a solution.
