How to get calendar events on watch

I've added some of my races to my calendar on Garmin Connect as events and ticked the 'race' button but they never go down to my watch so it always says 'no upcoming events'

How do I get things on my calendar to appear on my watch - or am I missing the point of the calendar?

The calendar widget on your watch is supposed to display whatever is on your calendar application on your mobile phone. E.g. if you have an iPhone, you could create an event for your race on iCal and it would show up on your widget.

The calendar on your Garmin Connect (on your computer) is more for scheduling workouts and seeing what is ahead. Once you transfer your workout schedule from the Garmin Connect calendar to your watch, you can view them by: Red button>Menu>Training>Training Calendar. You can select the workout for the day and do it if desired.

Upcoming calendar events are not displayed on watch

I am using Forerunner 235 with firmware 4.10 and an iPhone 6 with IOS 9.3.1.
Even though I have turned on Notifications "Banners" for both the native calendar app and my Week Cal app in IOS on my phone, nothing is displayed on the watch. Does anyone have any tip about what I need to configure to get this working.

The weather widget and other notifications is working fine.

You can only sync/send the calender event/workouts only from Garmin Connect Web Portal and not from Connect Mobile App or Device.

In the Garmin Connect Web, go to the Calendar Section and on the top right of the calendar you will see the button with a arrow type image. Click on it and Choose "Send Workout to Device".
Make sure your watch is plugged in to the computer with the USB charging cable. And better Garmin Express Application is open (not necessary. but Garmin Express need to be installed and configured with the device ).

There is no second option to sync the calendar workouts other than the one mentioned above.

Hope this helps and works for you.

In the Garmin Connect Calendar, in the upper right corner, there is a small arrow. Click it and a popup will give you "Send trainings to device". You will have to connect your watch via USB to your computer to let it sync via Garmin Express. Don't forget to safely disconnect USB afterwards (on MAC disconnect the Garmin volume in Finder).

I have the same issue. I have synched my watch to my garmin express account on my computer. The arrow option is present but it only displays how to synch. if you choose that option it will only take you in circles. There is no option of "sending workout to device" . my "training calendar" only displays "download calendar from garmin connect". The computer says it will be downloaded next time the watch is synched but I have done that multiple times. I am starting to regret my purchase...
