After OS update of 26.2, missing outlook complication of "up-Next" on Apple Watch 7.0. The outlook app also does not opens on the Apple watch. Big challenge for people who cannot use third part apps (due to exchange accounts)
Apple Watch Series 7, watchOS 26
Did you already try to force restart your iPhone and Apple Watch?
Force restart iPhone - Apple Support
To force restart your watch, press and hold the Digital Crown and the Side button together for about 10sec, until the Apple logo comes back again.
In case this does not work, try to delete the Outlook app and download it again from the AppStore on your watch.
Did you set the watch up as a new device, to make sure the backup data is not corrupted?
You will lose your created watch faces and might have to activate the cards in the Wallet app again.

In case this does not work either, let Apple and the developer know about the issue by using the Feedback link and contacting them:

Outlook app for iphone and for Watch are written by Microsoft, I believe they still have a support site.
That's a big leap of faith to assume that if it works on your watch there is no issue. I have an Ultra 3 and Outlook complications were working fine with OS 26.1. I upgraded to OS 26.2 and Outlook complications stopped working. I can open Outlook on my watch via the Outlook App, but the complications are 100% not working.
Exactly same behaviour here. All great with 26.1. (and earlier). With 26.2. neither Outlook on the watch nor complication is working at all on Ultra 3. Its really annoying as I was heavily using this. :(
Uninstall outlook from phone and watch.
Unpair the watch and set up again as a new watch, losing all saved faces.
Reinstall Outlook on iphone, and therefore on Watch, and add back the accounts if necessary.
Recreate the face.
Try again.
So I tried your suggestion. Now 45 minutes later Outlook is reinstalled on my iPhone and Watch. However, when I try opening the Outlook app, it just shows the icon and dots spinning around. Also, the Outlook complication is not even an option now.
Mista2 solution worked:
Reinstalling the Outlook complication from the watch Apps Store seemed to fix the synch issue for me, it hooked right up. I don't know if this was complicated by the Outlook on my phone being pushed from our corporate management app, but I had tried reinstalling and updating the iPhone app too with no success or change on the watch.
The only other thing I did was edit my watch face to remove the complications from the display, as they still seemed to be stuck displaying the last synched data, even though the Outlook watch app had been removed.
So to fix my instance:
1: From iPhone Watch App, remove the Outlook complication and confirm removed from watch app list
2: Edit watch face to make sure no Outlook complications in use
3: Access the Watch App Store and download outlook from there
Now appearing to synch OK when Watch Outlook app launched.
I can now re-add the Outlook calendar and inbox complications to my watch face and they display the correct data. Though initially the complications again only showed last synched data from 4 days ago, until I opened the complication, then it updated.
Tried everything in this thread - what worked for me was to uninstall Outlook from Watch, then uninstall Outlook from phone. Re-install on phone (automatically gets pushed to Watch too) and everything is back to normal and the complication works again. Note I'm probably one of many people where my employer is controlling access to Outlook on my phone and this worked.

So something non-standard about your combo.
VPN?
I tried all three of the above and Outlook Complications are still not working.
Did all - Force restart, remove and re-install outlook App and finally Watch Reset.
FWIW I installed Outlook on my iphone SE3, it automatically installed on my Watch SE2 and it all works including the complication
There is no inherent problem with iOS 26 or OS 26
Did you already have a look at the solution by Mista2 in this related discussion?

Thank you! It worked partially. After downloading through Watch, the outlook works but still cannot get the "up Next" Complications option. I did restarted both the devices and also add a new face.
