How to fix date on data to sync to app

Hi,

I recently changed the date on my phone to be in the future to test some things. This was just over a week ago. This changed the date on my watch which I have only just fixed by getting a GPS signal.

I think this has caused problems with my data as heart rate, respiration, sleep, etc are not syncing to the app since the date was changed but the sync is not failing.

Since I have fixed the date, the data is syncing again but I've got a big gap in my data.

I think it is still on the watch so I was wondering if there is a way I can fix the data for those days so that it will sync to the app. It hasn't reached the date in the future that I set it to yet but will in a few days.

Ah I see. I have a Garmin 245. Not sure how long that keeps them for.

What do you think will happen when it reaches the dates in the future (beginning on Jan 2023)?

Would my watch create new data for that date and sync that to the app or would the app display the data it already has for that date?

Well their support lacks serious customer service!!! Myninstinct will not re pair to my phone and the app does allow enough time to type 6 digits.

Are you experiencing the same issue as the OP?

Well, you could try setting the date on the computer to the future too, sync with Garmin Express - in this way you can (hopefully) simulate what would otherwise happen in future. And if you do not like the data being imported, you can delete the monitoring fit files either directly on the watch, or later (when synced) from the Daily Summary page in Garmin Connect Web
