I'm struggling to sync photos to my watch now that I'm using watch OS2.

I selected the 'all photos' album, it copied the first 20 odd & then refused to copy any more over. If I now try to select a different album with even just a couple of images, nothing happens (still looks like it's trying to copy 'all photos') & I seem to be stuck with a page of grey boxes!

I've rebooted the phone & watch several times - no difference!

Anyone got any ideas or having the same issue??

I'm also having trouble syncing photos. But in your case, there may be one more thing you can do:

Open Apple Watch app on your phone
Scroll to Photos
Make sure the Photos Limit (towards the bottom) is at the correct setting for your needs

You might have it set at 25, which is the lowest setting.

I had it set to 250, and it synced about 7 photos. And 243 grey boxes.
 
I'm having this problem too. Received a replacement watch yesterday and restored backup. I have it set to sync an album of just THREE photos, of my kids for a watch face, and nothing syncs. Have tried everything.
