Sunrise/sunset bug - time already changed?

Hey, I guess there is a bug with the sunrise/sunset feature on my FR255s. In Poland we expect to move our watches forward during the night of 25/26 March. However, my FR255s is already showing the new time since at least yesterday. Any idea why it was changed? My settings are of course indicating Polish time-zone.

So e.g. according to my FR255s on Sunday the sun will reise at 4:34, when in fact it will be 06:34. Really weird...

Two hours difference, but otherwise correct?

I would assume, the watch somehow…

So, reboot worked for me as well. Problem fixed (I hope permanently)

I had the same issue some days ago, I just restarted the watch and it was OK.

I just realized that the times of sunrise and sunset are move in a wrong 'direction' (like we do in October). So e.g. according to my FR255s on Sunday the sun will reise at 4:34, when in fact it will be 06:34. Really weird...

In Slovakia seems to be fine. Todays sunrise at 5:46, tomorow at 6:43.

FR255, 14.17

After having read your post I noticed that sunrise and sunset times were wrong on my watch as well. I rebooted the watch and now it seems to be fine.

I would assume, the watch somehow displayed it in UTC timezone, whilst Poland is UTC+1 (and winter time adding another +1).

But good to hear, a reboot fixed it.

Might be a problem with the timezone definition file, there has been an updated version rolled out not long ago (noticed it in Garmin Express, as I also own car navigation and an eTrex).
Always good to reboot now and then.

Thanks so much. Mine was four hours off, and the less than stellar Garmin instruction manuals never suggested this a fix, but I guess like the IT Crowd, I should have realized this would solve the problem.
