Sync Reminders with Watch

[mpavilion]

I noticed that none of my Reminders show up in my Watch app; apparently because it’s synced to a “Local” list which I don’t use and has nothing in it. How do I sync it to my “iCloud” list, which has all my active reminders? Thanks.

On your phone what do you have set as the default list in Settings > Reminders?

Could also go into accounts and turn off any that hold Reminders besides iCloud.

Thanks – my default list is indeed the (single) iCloud list. I’ll try the other thing as well.

EDIT: weirdly, I don’t even see Reminders as a thing I can turn off in the other two accounts… they both just have calendars linked, which I do need on my phone.

As far as I'm aware the only other services that can store reminders besides iCloud are Microsoft Exchange and Yahoo Mail.

I've been managing Reminders notifications on my watch all along (marking as done, etc.), but never realized that they're not actually synced in the watch app. There's not even a Reminders section in Watch settings... really can't figure out how to change which list it syncs with.

I am getting notifications on my watch correctly, but when I for example choose “remind me again tomorrow” it does not sync the date change to phone.
