aprox. twice a day, the watch change the time format from 24 hours to 12 hours by it self. i change back to 24 hours, and after a few hours, the watch changes it back. I have not seen any specific scenarios that makes the watch do this change. any one else have seen this problem?
Almost all kind of problems like this were settings change on the device are because you have different settings on Garmin Connect (Mobile) and it overwrites the settings on the watch when it syncs. They should really implement two way sync to avoid confusion.
Try checking all your settings on GC.
The watch allows "Military" as an option but GC and GCO do not -- so if you pick Military (i.e. no colon -- 13:37 becomes just 1337) and then look at GC or GCO settings, then after the next sync, the watch will re-display the colon, and be switched back to "24 hour" instead of "military"
