Travel across datelines

Former Member over 5 years ago

I’m traveling across the dateline and will lose a day while flying on my 58th day working towards my 60 day badge! How does Garmin sync on travel like this?

Since this is more of a general Garmin issue, not dependent on the platform, I've moved this post to the Garmin Connect Web forum.

I am not sure how it exactly works in such case (and I saw already several TZ issues posted here on the forum), but perhaps you could fool the watch by preventing it from syncing the TZ over GPS and/or over the phone while travelling, letting it in your original time zone all the time. That might help you meeting your steps goal, following the day-hours you are used to from your home. You just have to disable GPS and Bluetooth on the watch for the time of the travel, and continue with your steps as if you were at home.
