Thank you for the reply and link, Alex, but this site does not answer the question of how to sync your Outlook calendar with the Galaxy Watch.  I have everything setup properly (e.g. notifications allowed, sync enabled) and unlike the Samsung Calendar, with Outlook I only get an email prompt - no ability to dimiss or snooze the event on my watch.  I must use my phone which defeats the purpose of getting notifications on the watch.

Although I like Outlook, I am stuck using Samsung Email and Calendar. Thankfully, both are solid apps but not without their own issues.  Microsoft needs to address this or is there an reason why Outlook cannot also be the calendar app on Tiezen OS watches?

Thanks and I appreciate your time and reply once again!

Dear Errol

Did you ever figure it out? 

Did you manage to sync the outlook calendar onto the Samsung Watch?

Hello Ronen,

The short answer is no I have not. The other issue I found is the calendar app on my watch does not show Outlook events as it is still tied to the Samsung Calendar. 

I believe you can add your Outlook account to Samsung Calendar which would resolve this but then you have two calendars syncing in the background which adds a wee it more drain on your battery but is the only workaround I could see that works.

You still get meeting notifications as emails on your watch, not able to snooze or dismiss using your watch.

If you use Samsung Email, your Outlook account is added to Samsung Calendar when you add it to Samsung Email and you can snooze/dismiss all calendar events.

Not sure if this helps. From my view, Microsoft & Samsung need to work together to resolve.

Thanks and take care...

Same here I'm using a Frontier as well as an active 2 but I can't get the Outlook Calendar on the watches. It syncs the Samsung calendar but I don't use that email app so when meetings are cancelled for some reason the Samsung app doesn't cancel them. I have to manually do it in the Calrndar.

Very unfortunate. 

I found a way around this and I hope your company's policy allows it. 

This is generally what I did to get it to work with my Galaxy Watch 3, Note 20 Ultra and Office 365 corporate account. 

1. Log into Office.com and go to Outlook then to the gear in the top right and "View all outlook settings" at the bottom. 

2. Go to Calendar. Go to Shared Calendars.

3.  Under Share a Calendar, select your calendar from the dropdown. Enter your Gmail you sync with your Samsung phone/watch and select "can view all details" or whatever you want, and click Share. 

4. Check your Gmail, open the email from yourself, and right click and copy the link at the bottom of the email that ends with ICS. 

5. Click the google apps 3x3 square in the top right and select your google calendar.

6. In the Google Calendar, look under "Other Calendars" and click the plus sign to the right and select "From URL"

7. Paste that URL you copied in the field and click "Add Calendar"

8. Go back to your calendar and you might see all your Outlook events. Mine didn't show up at first and I got frustrated, gave up, and came back an hour later, refreshed and everything showed up, so give it some time to sync. 

9. Go to your Samsung calendar back on your phone and do a sync, then you should see that calendar available to add to your Samsung calendar app. 

10. Profit

Edit: forget everything i said above. That solution kind of worked. This is the real solution. https://phw198.github.io/OutlookGoogleCalendarSync/ 

Mmm.. this bit "Go to your Samsung calendar back on your phone" assumes you have a samsung phone, but what do we do for those who have a samsung watch WITHOUT a samsung phone, I wonder how we get the calendar app on the watch to do a sync having added outlook calendar to a gmail.

then go back to google calendar or whatever calendar is on your phone. Should work the same. On my Samsung phone I just sync my gmail calendar with the built in Samsung calendar. 

Brilliant this worked a treat. I've been looking for this solution for ages. You've made my day. Thanks rockstrongo

Finally got around to doing this and it works!

Thank you
