Sunrise and sunset hours

Former Member over 4 years ago

Hello,

On my recently purchased forerunner 945, there is a one hour lag with reality in sunrise and sunset hours.

How Can I correct it ? To precise my location, I am in Paris.

Many thanks and have a nice day.

As I've seen on some posts it could be a solution I did several GPS sync, with no success. My normal watch time is correct.

For now I have taken off this widget unfortunately... I am not sure a solution…

This is a rather a question for the Forerunner 945 forum, not for this GCM Android forum, becuase the setting depends on the model. Generally, you can set the location for the Sunrise/Sunset widget in its settings, so verify whether it is correctly set there. If it is set to the auto-location, make sure you turn the GPS on, time to time, so that the watch can detect its position. Or set a fixed location in the Sunrise/Sunset widget settings.

When did you last get a GPS fix? is your normal watch time correct?

If anyone is able to help here, would be great.

Did you try setting a fixed location, by coordinates, as I suggested above?

1. Remove the widget.

2. Save your current location (press and hold the top LH button to access the Controls Menu, then scroll around until you get the Save Location option).

3. Sync your watch with your phone to get the correct time.

4. Reinstall the Sunrise widget

JFYI - Garmin watches with GPS, get the time from GPS satellites, not from the phone. And that's, BTW, the most accurate time you can get. More accurate than from NTP servers.

You're right. I got slightly mixed up with location (eg. weather) which it gets from the phone.

Interesting, I've noticed that my watch's sunset/sunrise used to work correctly but it's not anymore.

I wonder if there's a bug. I don't use the widgets, this is just on the default watch face.
