Hello everyone

Anyone have ideas for how to get calendar notifications working on a watch? I recently got a Series 4 (fully updated) which is paired to an iPhone X (14.4).

I use WeekCal on the phone and on the watch, which uses the built-in calendars, but get no notifications on the watch.

In iPhone – Settings – Notifications, notifications are On for the Calendar app, for all things except the invitations and and invitee responses. Notifications are also On for WeekCal (it doesn't have any extra options like the Calendar app).

In the Apple Watch app on the phone, Notifications Indicator is On as is Always Show Short Looks. Notification Privacy is off. For the Calendar app I have both Notifications and Calendars set to mirror my iPhone. WeekCal is set to On.

The setting to push notifications is On as well. Other notifications work, like Reminders for instance.

Not sure what other info is needed but I hope someone can help.

In case it helps others, here's what I've found.

It seems that it is the WeekCal watch app which is causing the problem. As soon as I turn off notifications for that app (the on-off switch in the iPhone watch app's Notifications section) notifications go through.
