Those with an Apple Watch already know the significance and convenience of having all their crucial notifications on their wrist. But, like any device, there are times when it glitches and faces issues that require a quick fix. One such sync error faced by Apple Watch users can cause a data disruption with their calendar information, contacts, and messages. However, there are straightforward ways you can tackle this issue, and we show you how to get started.
Turning off Bluetooth and Wi-Fi
If you’ve recently switched iPhones or are using a different device, you may face a data sync issue, stopping your Apple Watch from communicating with your phone. In this case, it is best to check your iPhone’s Bluetooth and Wi-Fi connectivity.
Step 1: Swipe open the control centre
Step 2: Check if your Bluetooth and Wi-Fi icons are highlighted and switched on
Reset your synced Apple Watch data
Apple Watch resyncs all your data with the iPhone whenever you’re close to the device. But manually resetting your Apple Watch can help you retrieve your data if required. Here’s how to go about it:
Step 1: On your iPhone, open the Watch App
Step 2: Click on My Watch and tap the General Settings tab
Step 3: Select the reset sync data option to begin the resetting process
Step 4: Wait for your iPhone to remove all data, such as your calendar updates, messages, and health updates
Step 5: Your Apple Watch should start resyncing again after the process is through

Step 2: You’ll find the All Watches tab on your left; tap on it to display your Apple Watch
Step 3: Tap on the ‘i’ button on your Apple Watch
Step 4: You will find the unpair option at the bottom of the list
Step 5: Click on unpair your Apple Watch and enter your Apple ID password
Step 6: Once this is complete, you can begin pairing your Apple Watch with your iPhone once again
Step 7: Hold the Apple Watch to the screen and allow your iPhone to scan

With these steps, you will be able to resolve data disruption. However, it is best to visit the Apple Store or consult an authorised technician if the problem persists.
