Incorrect time zone

Former Member
Former Member
Hello everyone.

I bought my Fenix 3 last year, in October, and have been wearing it on every training. However, I have recently discovered that, even though the GPS gets the correct time zone (I'm from Portugal, so it should be GMT +0), when I upload my activities to Garmin Connect the time zone changes to a different one (it also changes the hour it started). I have configured the correct time zone in my profile, so I don't know what could possibly be going wrong :confused: Can anyone help me figure this out? It's a bit boring having to change the time zone on every activity I upload.

Thanks in advance :D

    Have you check in Garmin Connect (web) settings that the upload time zone is correctly set to GMT +0? From the Garmin connect page, click on the head and shoulder icon on the right hand side (4th one from the top) and then click on Settings...

    Thank you for the reply :)

    I already had that set to (GMT) Greenwich Mean Time, however it keeps changing the time zone to GMT+1 (Cape Verde), which makes no sense since I have never been there :P And now, with daylight savings I have to add 2 hours to each activity :(

    So I'm in NY and I have my upload time zone set to Eastern time which is GMT -5:00. However, for some reason my activities are being uploaded as Colombia time which is also GMT -5:00. Since Colombia doesn't have daylight savings all my activity times are 1 hour behind. I'm using a 235 and everything is set correctly on the watch. Any help would be appreciated.

    Just a thought: Could you please confirm whether you've configured your fēnix·3 to set its clock time automatically by GPS, or did you set it manually?
