Position.getInfo().when allways returns current time?

API doc says "The GPS time stamp of the obtained Location fix" ... but independent in app, watchface or widget, sim (any device) and device, with or without a real GPS fix .... I'm allways getting current time moment ...

I expected to get moment of latest GPS fix (e.g. latest activity with GPS). Is my expectation wrong?

So, it seems to be it's quite normal to get current time instead of time of latest fix? Someone who can confirm?

Same here, seems to be a bug. In a simple watchface I'm showing .when - and current time is shown. Checked on VA3 (no activity is running, no GPS fix since hours)

Experiencing this issue. Funny thing (that makes it look like a bug - i.e., inconsistent behavior) is that I have installed the same app in three watches, and suddenly only one of them started exhibiting this behavior. Did you ever figure out a solution?

Hi, stange, can you post what devices are woring, means .when returns moment of latest GPS fix?

Two Enduro 3 devices and 1 Fenix 7. One of the two Enduros `Position.getInfo().when` started reporting the "current time", for a location that I visited and used the GPS to record an activity yesterday.
