how to use Time duration

Hi All

I think I am doing something worng and I think its because I am trying to use Time.Moment when perhaps I should be using Time.Duration?

I am bascially trying to get a countdown between a futre time and the current time.

currently the bellow works on the SIM but when in the watch I get +1h (i think this is due to BST.

I have tried adjusting for BST to DST but then other elements go wrong.

My feeling is if I use Duration to get the time difference It'll work regardless. When converting back to Gregorian it must be adjusting for BST?

ANy help MUCH appreciated

var TimeNow = Time.now().value() ;
e = ( futuretime - TimeNow )/60 ;
var ncinfo = Time.Gregorian.info(new Time.Moment(e*60), Time.FORMAT_SHORT);
countdown = ncinfo.hour.format("%.0f") + "h " + ncinfo.min.format("%.0f") + "m";

hi, here is a simple using:

        var tn=Time.now().value(), et = 1663743600; // et = unix Timestamp
		if(et!=null&&et!=false){
			et = tn>et?tn-et:et-tn;
			var d = et/86400, h=(et%86400)/3600,…

I think if this is a countdown then you don't need to use Gregorian. Just use modulo and division to calculate the hours, minutes, seconds from e.

I’ve tried subtract but could get that to work.
what’s modulo?
