Cannot add weight for today

K. 5 months ago

When I try to add weight, the date points to "yesterday" and the date picker doesn't allow me to choose "today". Am I doing something wrong?

It's a bug in their software. Only Garmin can solve this.

Same issue. Yesterday's date is already selected and cannot be changed to today date until later in the day.

Also, the kg fraction not rolling over from 0.9 to 0.0 is a step backwards for usability…

Just figured out that I have to wait until 0:00 UTC to select today. Hope this will be fixed soon.

Since the last update to version 5.6, I've been unable to add a weigh in for this morning until after 10am as I can't set the date to be today.

In the weigh-in screen, it defaults to yesterday, if I go to the date picker to select today's date, although today is highlighted in the picker as the current date, the app won't permit me to select it. If I wait until after 10am, it will. Once I can select the right date, everything works correctly.

I'm in UTC+10 timezone (Brisbane), so I suspect that there is an error in timezone comparison when picking the date?

Same thing here too recently, for 2 different people, we are AEST+11.

Do Garmin staff participate in these forums?

No, if you want them to know about the bug you must report it via Garmin Customer Support: support.garmin.com/.../

It's a bug in the software. Garmin's programmers screwed up the time zone. My country is GMT +8 and I have to wait until 8 am before the "today" selection is available. Not very good software developers they have there.

Exactly the issue I have here in GMT+7. Quite frustrating

Don't they use their own software and watches?

Same exact thing here. I have to fire up my PC every morning and add my weight there. That's my only work around so far. Reset correct time zone multiple times. Must be a bug. Hope it gets fixed soon.

Same here. Can't select today until after 0:00 UTC. GARMIN, when will you fix this?

When people in Australia or Malaysia (GMT +8) try to enter a weight manually early in the day, with "today" as the date - it is adding the entry for the previous day.

I'm guessing it's something like the determination of "today" is happening on the server instead of on the client and it only impacts people that are at a large TZ offset from the servers when they try to add a manual weight entry early in the day.
