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.

    Getting a GPS fix on the F6 gives the correct time to the active IQ watchface, but the others remain at the wrong time (even a day later when they had enough time to update their screen for the change of the day).

    Ok the URL got messed up, can't edit that anymore, but it still can be copied and pasted as an URL.

    App devs already told me they have no idea what's going on (the ones I was able to contact)

    1. the 3 app links are actully only pointing to the 1st one.

    2. I think it would be worth to include in the report the actual GPS coordinates the WATCH (not the phone!) sees at the time of the problem, and the UTC time of the problem.

    3. Probably will be more useful if you also report the same to the app developers - even though it looks like the problem is in the watch they'll be able to report to Garmin exactly what function they use.

    On my 7X all I need to get the correct sunset/sunrise for my location is to scroll to an IQ glance or open the activity menu by hitting start (not running anything, just open it up and go back).
