GPLama started this thread a week or so ago which I commented on after I had the same issue and posted a workaround, ultimately Garmin should do whats in the manual and sync the time when connecting to the phone, or at least pick up NTP over wifi occasionally (e.g. ride upload)

i seen, you have this problem on 1030?

for me it is not understandable, that Garmin don't update the time with NTP server too, it is more or less standard in technical enviroments, it's really stupid to check time only with GPS

normally you use a primary and secondary ntp server, so i think it's possible to use GPS primary for time, if not reachable, the secondary time came from ntp server or something similar

it looks like, that Edge never get the time from GCM or Express, only when i go outdoor and i search for GPS

Yes, I saw it on my 1030 but agree it seems it's across a lot of Garmin devices. It's a surprising gap with the rise in indoor training, especially as the manual states that it does sync time when connected to a phone.

I need to go outside leave Edge to fix its GPS position, when I have again correct time and can save my workouts. This is ridiculous. Garmin please do something with that.

Fixed in the latest beta but probably worth waiting for a full stable release, there have been more issues than normal with this set of betas
