How do I stop unwanted calendar events from showing on my Instinct watch? There is an "Event" on my watch today that is not on my phone calendar, apparently a holiday for a different culture...

Simply put, this is my watch and I only want the calendar events to show that I choose. I only want the calendar events that are on my phone calendar. How do I stop unwanted "spam" events without eliminating the entire calendar widget?

The Calendar widget only receives what you have setup on your smartphone for calendar alerts in either iOS or Android. All smart notifications that arrive to your watch are pushed from your smartphone based on settings for iOS and in your Connect Mobile APP settings when using Android.

Ok, if this is the case then there is some fluke between my Outlook and iPhone. (My iPhone is set to mimic my calendar in Outlook.) The event in question does not appear in either Outlook or my iPhone. I've double checked that I don't have any other active calendars. Hopefully just a fluke, so I'll ignore it and see if it happens again. Thanks for the response.

No improvement, random international holidays that have nothing to do with me continue to appear on my watch.
