Ultra Info Board - Galaxy Watch 7 - Calendar complications for the week only show up if there is an event on the currently scheduled day.

[Coach3]

Using the Ultra Info Board watch face, the main, large complication (Complication 4) set to "Date" shows the next 7 calendar dates, and will show 'dots' under each day to show if I have events scheduled for the day. The dots are color coded, according to how I color the events in my Samsung Calendar app on my phone. This is an incredibly useful watch face.

The problem is that the calendar is completely if there are no upcoming events for the day. For instance, yesterday, the 'dots' showed up for most of the day. My last event for the day ended at 7:30 PM, and after that time, my "Date" complication went blank for the week.

Today I have no events scheduled, and my calendar continues to be blank. If I add a test event later in the day, suddenly my calendar fills for the week on the watch complication. As soon as I remove the test event, all my calendar events disappear again.

I've done a deep dive into my permissions and all relevant apps, watch faces, etc... have been given access to my calendar.

Is there anything else I may be missing? Is there a way for me to submit a bug report to whatever team manages watch faces and complications at Samsung?

I'm having the same problem, did you find a solution? I've got a Galaxy Watch 7.

Thanks

There is another developer who creates a calendar called next calendar. If you use his complication, it works correctly. Samsung still hasn't fixed this bug. 

There is no excuse why The next event on calendar is not read properly. I had the same frustration until I began to create my own watch faces using watchmaker. That also had a different setting for identifying the next calendar item and the second calendar item, both of which I put on my watch face. Would only choose an event that appears on the same day. 

What that meant was if today is Monday and I had an event for 1:00 a.m., Tuesday morning, the Samsung next event complication which showed no upcoming events. Once the clock hit midnight, I would have a next upcoming event appear as 1:00 a.m. The above calendar program with the watch add-on will properly show the 1:00 a.m. event on Monday that is for Tuesday. In addition, it will also show you the date of the next upcoming event. It is inexcusable that after so many years, this critically important function doesn't work properly or intuitively.

Thank you for sharing this. I don't know how to use custom complications, so I'm going to need to look into that. This is important enough that it's worth the extra effort.

And yes, Samsung has really let me down with the software bugs on this watch. I get that bugs happen, but there are many critical functionalities that have not been addressed over a long period of time.

[Coach3]

I submitted the bug report, but no fix. It is frustrating because the watch is overall great, but I have a few little software problems like this that kill major functionalities for me.

Another poster recommended a different watch face that doesn't have this issue, so I'm excited to check that out.
