Challenge lost

Hi! I am constantly struggling with timezone issues, an this here is the most illustrative example, where a challenge didn't get counted.

I live by PT tomezone, local timezone is MSK. The October weekend 5k challenge was showing 9h left when I did the 5k - at 3pm PT time 2am next day local time. The run still didn't count, and only showed up in the app the next day.

I don't understand this:

Where do you live and which timezone are you using? Why is it different?

Set the timezone to where you live.

I live in many places, currently in Moscow Russia, MSK timezone. By "I live by PT timezone" I mean all my clocks and calendars are by PT timezone, I wake up and go to bed by PT timezone, and all my life and work is defined by the PT timezone. It would make it impossible for me to set the clock to local time - the numbers would stop making any sense.

Is this really an issue for Garmin to solve? You are living in a place but use a different timezone and therefore you get issues with the timezone...

The timezone for GPS activities are the real timezone that is fetched from the GPS satellites. The timezone setting in Connect is used for non GPS activities.

My best tip is to take the challenges right when they start instead of waiting until last minute.
