Kazakhstan TZ

Hi!
From 1 March 2024, timezone in Almaty and other cities in Kazakhstan changed from UTC+6 to UTC+5
When I synchronize time with my smartphone it is OK and correct time, but when I use some activity with GPS my watch changes to UTC+6
it's very annoying because it happens noticeably

I got the update today. And.... it's become worse. Not it's utc +0, and instead of 1 hour off, i have 5 hours off on all widgets.

Hi,

I believe you'll have to wait until Garmin provides an update to the timezone map in your watch.

it's now available on watches, then it should be released widely to all type of devices.

Same problem. I did a full reset, it didn't help. When will they fix it?

Hi, i can share the 35.00 version (not relevant to any devices, same file for all of them, gps, watches, etc).

But i can't tell if it could be easily backdated.
