Pixel Watch 2 not syncing calendars properly from Pixel phone? Here's the potential reason why

If you are encountering difficulties syncing your calendars between your Pixel Watch 2 and smartphone, then find consolation in knowing that you aren’t the only one facing this problem. Several Pixel phone and other smartphone users have reported issues related to calendar synchronization specifically with the Pixel Watch 2, noting that certain calendars fail to sync seamlessly.

According to reports, even the built-in calendar apps are experiencing syncing problems with the Pixel Watch 2. Although all calendars display within the Pixel Watch calendar sync options, unchecking and rechecking them doesn’t resolve the syncing issue. Moreover, despite attempting to disable and re-enable synchronization from the watch settings, the calendars fail to sync.

This issue seems to have arisen following the introduction of Wear OS 4. It appears that the new version might have altered the calendar syncing process. While Google has not officially acknowledged this problem, a potential reason for the issue has surfaced.

One likely cause behind the calendar syncing problem on the Pixel Watch 2 could be its limited compatibility with accounts other than Google. A Redditor discovered a support page indicating that Google Calendar on Wear OS lacks support for certain phone-based features such as work profiles and non-Google accounts.

This suggests that the Pixel Watch 2, designed to seamlessly integrate with Google’s ecosystem, might only support syncing calendars linked with Google accounts. Unfortunately, this means that calendars from third-party providers or with non-Google accounts may not synchronize properly with the watch.

However, we suggest our readers to take this information with a pinch of salt as Google hasn’t yet acknowledged this issue and there could be another explanation for it. We hope that this problem gets sorted out soon since this situation is inconveniencing numerous users, hindering them from fully utilizing the calendar functionality on their watch.
