Your Apple Watch syncs with many of the apps and services on your iPhone. This lets you get alerts and notifications from those apps and services on your watch, meaning that you won’t constantly need to check your phone.

Fortunately you can adjust many of the alert and notifications settings, including the ones sent from the Calendar app. Our tutorial below will show you how to disable all of the Calendar alerts on your Apple Watch using the Watch app on your iPhone.
