Edge 1030, wrong date and time of day

So my Garmin 1030 is connected to GPS and Glonass but the displayed time of day is off by 2 hours and 10 minutes. The date is wrong as well.

An indoor activity that I performed last night, the 27th was recorded as being performed on the 24th. It's now been uploaded to Connect and Strava as such. How does one fix this? I was on 3.5 last night and just updated to 3.7. During my indoor activity the GPS was turned off but having turned it on now, I would have thought it'd correct itself.

jgforrest - Time setting via GPS is how all of the Garmin Edge devices set their time. I do not see that changing in previous or future devices. Plus there is a simple fix, take the Edge outside and acquire a GPS signal. If that does not resolve the problem, I would recommend contacting Garmin Support.

I talked to support and they said the same thing (time sync only via GPS) but that differs from what it says in the manual (link I posted above), and this time of year when a lot of people are training indoors it means there's a risk of the time drifting. This is compounded by not being able to see the date on the 1030, so it's not that obvious that the date/time is wrong.

It would be good to have time/date updated by syncing with the phone, and actually as the unit has wifi there's no reason it couldn't also sync via ntp.

Something for a future firmware update maybe.

You can edit the date and time of the activity on the Connect mobile phone app. My indoor activities have the wrong date and time stamp all the time. I use the mobile phone app for corrections. I am using an iphone.
