Tides incorrect

Bonjour, 

Je ne sais pas si je peux parler français sur ce forum. Je traduirai en anglais en deuxième partie de message.

J'habite à Mayotte (FRANCE), une île à côté de Madagascar. Les horaires de marées et les hauteurs d'eau étaient déjà peu précises par rapport aux données officielles issues du SHOM (https://maree.shom.fr/harbor/DZAOUDZI). Depuis hier (26/01/22) les marées ont présenté de réelles erreurs qui rendent inutilisable les données issues de ma montre. Celle-ci me présente 2 marées hautes successives, déréglant totalement la suite des marées.

J'ai déjà essayé de synchroniser les marées avec un nouvel emplacement sur la même île mais rien ne change. Je pense que le problème vient du jeu de données marées au sein du logiciel interne de la montre. Ainsi, seule une mise à jour de la part de Garmin pourrait corriger ces erreurs.

Merci pour votre aide.

I live in Mayotte (FRANCE), an island next to Madagascar. Tide times and water levels were already imprecise compared to official data 
from SHOM (maree.shom.fr/.../DZAOUDZI). Since yesterday (26/01/22) the tides have presented real errors which make the data 
from my watch unusable. This one presents me with 2 successive high tides, totally disrupting the sequence of the tides.

I have already tried to synchronize the tides with a new location on the same island but nothing changes. I think the problem is with 
the tide dataset within the internal software of the watch. Thus, only an update from Garmin could correct these errors.

Thanks for helping me

    I am sorry there is an issue with your tide times. I have sent you a direct PM message to gather more information to report it.

    Mine is 3hs wrong, I’m in Indonesia surfing sharp reef breaks.. is the most expensive watch I ever had and doesn’t do the most important thing… for what a saw on the forums looks like no one is gonna fix it, Why not better make an update with 500 surf spots, that you could chose from the watch, even without internet like the Rip Curl watches, and will have your tides on the watch ready for the next 10 or 20 years, perfect accurate! Please grab a rip curl watch and see what I’m talking about… also the 3 days of tides is almost nothing, if you go to middle of no where, after 3 days your watch is worthless, it should be at least for an year, the information is accourate like the moon fades, every year you can get a free book with the tides by hour for the hole year, is just garmin that didn’t make it right. Probably just need a few mb of internal storage for keep all you coustomers happy!

    I have been saying this forever. Offline is so much cooler than online, and who cares if it's only accurate to a few minutes? Also, Garmin could simply offer a tide-timer of 12 hours 25 minutes that you set and forget. It's not like you are constantly at a new beach.
