Bug? - Sunrise/Sunset Widget Glance

Using a Forerunner 255 on latest software release. I travelled from UK to US last week and noted that whilst the watch updated to local time correctly, the sunrise/sunset widget glance still showed sunrise/sunset for the UK, but displayed in local time. For example, it showed sunrise was at 11.47am, and sunset at 11.59pm.

The phone had internet access, and GPS access, and the watch had GPS access. Unfortunately none of these happened at the same time (work trip - 3 days in a hotel basement...)

Has anyone else seen this? I couldn't find anything obvious to change in settings to fix it.

To get correct sunset/sunrise, you must use GPS. There is a feature to set the watch by GPS which you can assign to the command wheel. Or you can just do a short GPS activity. That updates the position as well.

You can also just open the run activity and wait for GPS to get lock (red to green bar). No need to start the activity.

Thanks all, I've rebooted the watch (not sure I've ever done this since I bought it), and will initiate GPS through an activity, or through the widget glance or other method when travelling again to check this fixes the issue.
