Toybox.Position.Info.when

The doco for Toybox.Position.Info.when says "The GPS time stamp of the obtained Location fix."

So if I call Toybox.Position.Info.when multiple times it should always return the same value (??). In the simulator it doesn't.

So my question is: when is Toybox.Position.Info.when?

To be clear if you examine the when field multiple times for the same Position.Info object, clearly it should not change, but I would expect the value of when to be different for distinct Position.Info objects.

Seems to change for the same instance of Position.Info.

Huh that’s pretty weird. Do you have code you can share?

I wasn't able to replicate so I'll assume that it was my mistake however the simulator seems somewhat non-deterministic at the moment.
