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 think the location is coming from the phone if the last gps activity was to long ago or far away from my current position.

    This also does not explain that it jumps back to the correct position / time by merely scrolling my glances or opening the activity menu on the watch. And is off again after a few minutes when connected to my phone and moving, but stays correct when Bluetooth is disconnected, some false location data seems to be coming from the phone. 

    Could very well just be an issued with the Connect software sending a bad location or zero coordinates to the watch.

    Maybe I can get some input from the developers.
