@mikekoski490 what happened i found out awhile ago after reading your post here,to get it accurate sunrise an sunset it to sync the watch i see mines go to the correct value,for the rest of the week I see what happens without syncing the watch
-
@mikekoski490 not sure about this, but should DST not be over by now? So that winter (standard) time takes over, and the reality and watch are back in sync?
This should be an issue during summer only, no? -
@Egika You are right! Just other way around.
Where I live the provincial government, as of March 2026, pronounced we would be observing permanent Pacific Daylight Savings Time or UTC‑7 going forward. For the past 70 years we used to ‘fall forward’ on the first Sunday in November to "Pacific Standard Time” or UTC‑8, which is what likely is baked into the Core 2 - not really Suunto’s fault as when the internal algorithm was flashed it was correct. Just surprised this change cant be recognized via a sync to the app, according to their help desk, so that the ‘synced’ times can update the watch offline too.
As you said, it will be correct without a daily sync for 6 months starting March 2027.
So, both my in-built sunrise and sunset times are now 1 hour off.
CORE 2 for today:
Sunrise - 7:16am
Sunset - 4:36pmReality via internet (or when syncing via Suunto app):
Sunrise: 8:25 AM
Sunset: 5:41 PMOn the bright side:

At least I can sync it each morning (takes about 4 failed sync attempts though before finally updates so I just might just do the math and add an hour in my head which is ‘somewhat’ easier lol.)

Hope that the Suunto help desk was incorrect and this can be fixed via a firmware update down the road.
Look, its not really a big deal. Im not going to perish nordic skiing this winter because I completely forgot the CORE 2 is wrong and I forgot to sync it. Note Im more happy the auto alti/baro switch was added as that was a pain beforehand.
Its just, well - kinda jinky for Suunto. I sort of bought the core 2 to not have to rely on a daily sync requirement for it to be accurate, but that said I also appreciate the fact it can be updated/improved down the road.

@mikekoski490 So you are on permanent DST now. All right.
This surely can be fixed with a watch update. The time zones and rules seem to be in theret6, S6, Elementum Terra, Ambit 3 Sapphire, Spartan Ultra, Traverse Alpha, S7 Graphite LE, S9B Ambassador, S9P Titanium, S9PP Titanium, Vertical All Black, Race Titanium, Race S Titanium Courtney, Run Lime, Race 2, Vertical 2 Titanium, Race 3s

@Egika Thanks. Would be nice! When I asked the help desk about the possibility of some sort of fix in a future update, they apologized for my experience but said it could not be fixed, and recommended that I buy a different Suunto device.

@Egika Hi. Everything is working perfectly after the latest update (1.14.2) :), though the small moon icon still seems to be mirrored (my location is Eastern Europe). The moon should be waxing from right to left, but it’s the other way around. Could you please provide some information on this? Thanks a lot in advance.

So obviously it’s possible—if other Suunto models can do it! It’s just a software issue that can be fixed on the Core 2.
Who’s in charge of support?! I also haven’t been able to find out about the Core 2’s water resistance. Why did they add a “Dive” feature and reduce the maximum dive depth from 10 meters (Core 1) to 2 meters (Core 2)? 🫤Traverse Alpha Stealth
Traverse Alpha Foliage
Traverse Alpha Concrete
Core Alpha Stealth
Core 2 All Black -
@Alpha I took mines dive mode on ,I went down 7feet am using ft metric not meters,it work perfectly

Who’s in charge of support?!Hopefully possible, but doubt my small support case is an issue for very many Core 2 owners so likely not a priority.
The Suunto support online conversation was unusual. The online support person, who used very helpful and positive langauge (if a real person) so no issues there, but they didnt know anything about the Core 2. Kept telling me to take it outside and get a GPS fix, or to go to settings - time - toggle on/off DST. So, hopefully telling me at the end of the chat just to get a different Suunto model was unusual too.

@mikekoski490 Suunto support is leaving some strange impressions…
I tend to think that AI is in use quite a lot.
I made a ticket out of your Vancouver DST issue. It will find it’s way to the development department.
