Wrong sunset times after GPS location on the watch times out?

Wrong sunset was 19:17 a month ago, then 19:15 now I get 19:14, that tells me the watch things it's on the other half of the planet, as days are getting longer where I am not shorter.

Happening on my F7, F6, F5 and someone else is seeing this on a Venu 2.

I remember seeing this a year ago, then it was fine for the most part of summer/autumn.

Also 3 different IQ faces not just one.

    I tried with the two IQ WFs to the left and to the right and never got this Problem with my Tac7  on 11.28 and never observed it before BUT I'm never connected with a smartphone. A friend of mine with FR955 who is connected to an Android 12 to get OWM data has exactly the same issue especially when moving around with the connected FR955.

    So I agree this isn't a problem of the Garmin device itself but with either the communication to the smartphone - It seems the location data used are the one from the smartphone and those mess up the location data at the device. Communication is done by Garmin Connect - what changed when it went from nogo to go and back to nogo during the last year is device software and GC version.

    Best guess: GC pushes the wrong location to the device with an earlier version, that was fixed later and now is wrong again. Old repository used to build the current version?
