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 had also an issue with the sunset/sunrise times a few days ago: 

    The weekend before last we had the changeover to daylight saving time here. Immediately the next morning the sunrise/sunset times were still correct, but on Monday morning they were suddenly shifted by exactly two hours: sunset 17:54 instead of 19:54.

    These times were displayed in both the stock watchface and the sunset widget.

    Even manually selecting a different location still gave the wrong times. After a reboot was everything correct again.

    Not sure that is related as it seems stock and IQ use different sources for their sun data.

    I can have watches that did not have a gps fix for a year show the correct sun data in stock faces and widget but incorrect in IQ faces after connecting to a phone.

    Currently the F7 beta has wrong data for stock and widget but the IQ faces show the correct times (asides from the issue described here).
