Sunrise/sunset times completely incorrect
-
I live in the UK. Sunrise/set times have always been accurate.
A week ago I went to just inside the Arctic Circle in Sweden and the watch was suddenly hopelessly out with the rise/set times.
Now I’m back in the UK and it’s still completely wrong.
I’ve synced it to my phone app. Didn’t improve things.
Does anyone know how to fix this? -
@Ramrod
Did you start an activity or enabled the gps in other ways ? -
@Ramrod get a GPS fix at your new position -> all will be fine
-
@sartoric Started several activities in Jokkmokk…after syncing the watch to the phone app. The app knew exactly where I was, shame it didn’t bother telling the watch.
-
@Egika Just did that on the watch, all is fine now-as you said it would be. Thank you
Seems that the app doesn’t tell the watch where it is. Something that basic should be automatic really. -
@Ramrod no, the app only sets time/date/timezone, for the position on the watch you need GPS.

A daylight savings time could occur when you are without a phone or out of cell range. You could change time zones out of cell range. I think better to have the watch know sunrise/sunset rather than the phone.

However the app (when connecting to the watch) says ‘optimizing GPS performance’ Misleading…
-
@Ramrod misleading what? It is downloading information about satellites position into the watch.
-
@Ramrod That is so the watch can connect rapidly to the satellites to update position. It is not for setting time and allows a much more accurate start to the GPS track.
