I was one of the implementers of the Apple Watch (OS 1.0) CalDAV support. We always wanted people to be able to "bring your own server".

You're welcome.

Thank you.

CalDAV and CardDAV are wonderful cross-platform protocols that I use every day (including on Apple Watch) and I hope they continue to be supported in the future.

In practice it's unlikely you're using CalDAV or CardDAV on Apple Watch, those data classes are synced from your paired phone unless you've set your watch up as a stand-alone device, which is rare.

One day, hopefully!

Thank you.

I'm the author of this post, I assumed Apple still has support for these protocols because of legacy business systems.

I hope that the support for interoperable protocols continue to remain in future versions of Apple Operating Systems.
