In some rare cases; however, sync problems may occur. In this case, you can use the Apple Watch app on iPhone to reset the contact and the calendar data. The\u00a0Calendar\u00a0data and the\u00a0Contact\u00a0data will then sync again from scratch.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify\">On your iPhone, press <em>Home<\/em>.<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify\">On the <em>Home<\/em> screen tap <em>Apple Watch<\/em>.<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify\">Tap <em>My Watch<\/em>.<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify\">Tap <em>General<\/em> on <em>My Watch<\/em> screen.<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify\">Tap <em>Reset<\/em> on the <em>General<\/em> screen.<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify\">Tap <em>Reset Sync Data<\/em> on the <em>Reset<\/em> screen.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">The Apple Watch app will then reset the sync data for your contacts and calendar.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center\"><span id=\"Troubleshooting_with_Syncing_between_Devices\"><span style=\"font-size: 18pt\"><strong>Troubleshooting with Syncing between Devices<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">When your iPhone contacts aren\u2019t syncing with your Apple Watch, information is no longer accessible. Occasionally, a contact list just disappears, or perhaps it was never even there in the first place. I recently experienced this problem on my own Apple Watch. Here are some possible solutions to fix the contacts syncing issue with your Apple Watch. If one suggestion doesn\u2019t work, just move on to the next one, or the one after that until something does work:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify\">Start with\u00a0<em>Restart<\/em>: for the most part, restarting your Apple Watch seems to be the best solution. To restart the watch, proceed as follows: \u2013 Press and hold the side button until the\u00a0<em>Power Off\u00a0<\/em>slider pops up, \u2013 Swipe the slider to the right entirely. To turn the watch back on, just press and hold the side button again. When you start seeing the Apple logo, let go of it. If the watch is not responding, you will need to force quit it. And then try restarting.<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify\"><em>Check for Connectivity<\/em>: If your contacts are not showing on the Apple Watch at all, it might happen because your iPhone and Apple Watch are not connected to each other. To double check, access the\u00a0Settings\u00a0glance by swiping up on the watch face. Once there, look for\u00a0Connected\u00a0with a green phone icon. We also recommend turning off\u00a0Airplane Mode\u00a0while checking if the devices are connected.<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify\">Try to reset sync data, as described above. You will not see any changes in the beginning, but don\u2019t do anything yet. The resetting is running in the background so you should wait patiently. The whole operation usually takes about two or three minutes to complete.<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify\">If\u00a0your Contact\u2019s Pictures\u00a0have disappeared, login to the iCloud on your computer, and check to make sure that your Contacts are synced to iCloud.<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify\">If they are not, allow it to do so. On your iPhone, go to<em>\u00a0Settings &gt; iCloud &gt; Turn off<\/em> Contacts. Once you are there, delete them from your iPhone.<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify\">Now, turn both devices off. Then, turn on your iPhone first. Once your Apple Watch and iPhone are back\u00a0on, go to the iCloud options again and toggle\u00a0<em>On\u00a0for\u00a0Contacts<\/em>. Be patient as you wait for your iPhone and Apple Watch to reconnect and let the data sync up.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center\"><span id=\"A_Few_Useful_Apps_for_your_Apple_Watch\"><span style=\"font-size: 18pt\"><strong>A Few Useful Apps for your Apple Watch<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><em>Misfit Shine 2:<\/em> This health app logs steps, different types of activity and sleep, and can feed all of this data back to Apple Health.
