strength & cycling training (ALL INDOOR) recorded in wrong time zone!

today i checked my activities in Garmin Connect and i seen, both strength training i recorded with my new Forerunner are in the wrong timezone (GMT +02:00) South Africa:

my running and cycling activities seems to be in correct timezone (GMT +01:00) middle europe:

is there something wrong with the Connect Servers?

is it a Forerunner or Connect prob?

Former Member please can you check it?

Did a treadmill run yesterday and the problem is the same, activity is in South Africa timezone.

still no change, i do my Indoor Activities always in South Africa instead of middle europe, how long it can take a bug fix for this?

You are new to this?

The answer is: close to forever.

nobody at Garmin will fix it, all my indoor workouts are in time zone of south africa?

As I said: hopeless. Guess when you contact support, they will tell you they have never heard of this bug before. And then: factory reset and last resort: exchange watch.

I am exhausted.

Being fed up with all these minor issues and Garmin's very bad handling of these, I switched to an Apple Watch after more than 10 years being Garmin customer of their high-end products. Fun fact: when syncing my strength trainings via RunGap from my Apple Watch, the timezone is also being set to South Africa so I definitely can rule out that this is a specific 945 bug ;-)

No, I am very happy with the AW now. Especially that strength trainings are spelled correctly now, a bug that Garmin was not able to fix since the release of the 945. And yes, I have an open ticket with support on that ;-)

it looks like it's fixed with the change from summer time to winter time, so i am not sure if Garmin have done this fix, or will it come back till the next time, when we change from winter time to summer time?

Sounds like a great strategy from Garmin. Just waiting until the change from summer to winter time ;-). Btw, is the naming problem fixed also? Meaning strength trainings are now spelled correctly and not "Krafttrainin"? (in case you are German)
