When creating Epics and viewing them in the list the system date formats are ignored and the dates are displayed in USA date format.


Anyone else seeing this?

I have reported ti to Garmin.
I have raised it too. Seems like it is a known issue and Garmin is investigating.
I dont understand why do they hard code date formats and not simply take them from system settings.
Hopefully, a fix will…
Indeed, but they haven't learnt their lesson..or the teams are disconnected or US oriented... same mistake again.

It suggests that either the GCM Android developers have not been trained to use library/common functions when coding or they are coding the same thing over and over again. We experienced the same problem with VO2max and other performance metrics as you probably remember.
VO2 Max chart dates in Europe are in USA date (mm/dd) format

**We are aware this is occurring for users when creating a new Epic or viewing them in the Garmin Connect app. If your system date format is DD/MM/YYYY but the date format for Epics is showing as MM/DD/YYY, please ensure the app has been updated then reply to this thread.
Garmin - PW You don't say in your question what version of GCM I should have installed upon which you want me to re-confirm that the problem still exists.
GCM v5.29 came out on 8-10th September and is the latest version according to Google Play and which is several days before I started this thread.
It is a problem for me on v5.29 which is the version that was installed when I reported this problem.
As I have automatic updates on I am always on the latest available version and I don't recall a situation where my version of GCM has needed updating manually.
This isn't an urgent problem and I'm sure you have more important stuff to be working on but please let me know when there is a genuine new version of GCM Android where this has been fixed and I will check for you.
PS: I see that this has also been reported for iOS: https://forums.garmin.com/apps-software/mobile-apps-web/f/garmin-connect-mobile-ios/443308/date-formatting-for-epic-is-incorrect
