Question

Marking Reminders completed on Apple Watch 7 and syncing them across multiple devices

for Reminders on my Apple Watch 7, how can the Reminder be "Mark Completed" in bulk instead of having to click on each one to Mark Completed? Why does it take multiple taps to clear on the Watch. It's very inconvenient and frustrating. I let the Reminders show up as Overdue on the Watch and now am finding I have to clear them on my MacBook Pro and also on my iPhone 14 Plus individually. Why doesn't it sync across all devices? I've tried to reset data on the Watch but it doesn't show that its been done.

Apple Watch Series 7, watchOS 26

if you have to reset multiple devices, then they are not sync'd to iCloud (remember it can take 5-10 minutes to sync.)

On each device check for syncing, like on the phone it's iPhone, Settings, [tap your name], iCloud, see all, Reminders, is it on?

There is no way to mark complete in bulk. Nobody should have that many reminder notifications in a day.

Thank you. I did check each device to see if syncing is on each. Each one has it on. When I trid to reset data on the iPhone, it didn't do anything. so I'm still not sure what else to do. Thank you for letting me know there is no way to mark completed in bulk. I have multiple reminders daily because of certain medications and other things instead of doing calendar events.
