Apple watch sends reminders for outlook calendar events that have no reminder set.

I am using the the default iOS calendar and mail app and sync to my apple watch.

Notifications for outlook are turned off in the watch settings.

I do not want to turn off all calendar reminders as this is how I get notified about upcoming meetings.

I have calendar entries in my iOS calendar, which is synced from my Microsoft Exchange account. They either have reminders (= alerts) set or not.

If they have reminders set I expect to receiver a reminder at the specified time.

If they don't have reminders set I expect to not receive any reminders about them. I do not need a daily reminder that a colleague is on vacation. But I need a reminder 15 minutes before a meeting starts.

Notifications for the outlook.com account are activated both for calendar and reminders.

If I understand you correctly, the only way to NOT receive reminders, for items that do not have reminders configured, is to deactivate notifications all together?

And I reply again. I do not have outlook installed on my watch. I use the iOS mail and calendar apps both on the phone and the watch.

These are calendar reminders and not emails.
