Timezone Changing

Can someone help you with what exactly?

If your FR235 detects a change in time zone – including, but not limited to, by acquiring a lock on GPS satellite signals, with or withoutrecording a timed activity – then it will update your account's upload time zone settingupon next sync with Garmin Connect. (Yes, I was a little surprised to see that happen, in my experimentation just now.) If you're at all worried, then remember to give your FR235 the opportunity to detect the change after you physically move between time zones.

In the worst case scenario, there is no way to tell the watch to record a timed GPS activity in London, then a non-GPS activity in Dubai, then a non-GPS activity in Singapore, and then a GPS activity in Brisbane all between two distinct syncing operations with Garmin Connect, and have each activity uploaded with the correct time zone. If a timed non-GPS activity is uploaded to Garmin Connect with the incorrect time zone, you can always correct it subsequently by editing the activity record's summary data.

Yes, I know that. But they say the added timezone it's only for non GPS activities. So why does it change it?
My problem was that the Namibia government changed the time zone last week. Now is GMT+2 and before was GMT+1. So the watch is always recording my activities on GMT+1, when now, I'm in GMT+2.

Garmin should update the Time Zone Map module on the FR235 (and it does from time to time; there was an update to that pushed out recently, as is usual around the time daylight saving changes take place), so that Namibia's new time zone is correctly reflected.

Thank you for your feedback.

By the way, your FR235 is capable of picking up changes in the time zone from your mobile phone upon syncing, if you're running Garmin Connect Mobile on the handset and it is paired and connected with your FR235. That means, after you record a timed GPS activity (or just let the watch acquire a lock on GPS satellite signals without starting the timer), if you allow the watch to sync via the Garmin Connect Mobile app and your phone has the right time zone (in its operating system settings), then the currently applicable time zone will be updated on the watch. If there's a discrepancy between the watch's time zone and your Garmin Connect account's upload time zone setting, then the latter will be overwritten upon next sync.

That's what I can´t understand. My watch sync via Garmin Connect Mobile and it have the same time of my phone. Everything is fine. The problem is that it saves my activities with a different time, 1 hour difference.

I'm now completely stumped by how it actually works, after performing a series of experiments on my FR630; whether the Upload Time Zone setting gets overwritten by discrepancies between watch and what's on record in the Garmin Connect account settings seems to be subject to some inconsistent behaviour. All morning I could not get the UTZ setting to be overwritten (from a deliberately incorrect GMT+10.5 Lord Howe Time) no matter how I sync, whether the time zone on my watch was set by GPS or via the connected tablet's time zone setting, whether a GPS-enabled activity was recorded and uploaded in between syncs, etc. Now, suddenly every change of my the time zone setting on the tablet is immediately reflected in the clock time shown on the watchface, and upon syncing initiated from the Garmin Connect Mobile app the UTZ setting is changed in my Garmin Connect account settings.

I give up.
