Date incorrect (3 days out !)

How do you correct dates in Garmin Connect - my Swim shows the date is out by 3 days (the time is correct on the watch).
  • If you click on edit (little pencil icon) and select 'Full Edit'. Now you can change the start date/time of the workout.

    My Swim had problem with the first workout I've done. The time was off by an hour and the file created was named '19891231-003725-1-1499-ANTFS-4-0.FIT', which would mean that it was created in 1989! I only had the watch on for about 30mins (see time in file name 00:37:25).

    All was fine with the second workout.

    Date was wrong on my first workout as well. Everything's been fine since.

  • Thanks a lot - saved me loads of frustration !
    The date was fine today though... I wonder if it gets it wrong if you don't pair it before swimming ????

    When you pair to ANT Agent the first time, the watch gets the UTC time from the computer and all should be correct after that. Before the first pairing, it uses the local time that you set and, as you've seen, there can be problems associated with time zones (though that doesn't explain it being 3 days out!).
  • It was three days before I paired it - I can only think it is a software error... no peoblems since pairing.
  • I removed the battery from my Garmin Swim, and after that I did some exercises. The date on my watch is ok, the time on my watch is ok, the GMT setting in Garmin Connect is ok, my computer time is ok and in the right time zone. Still, the first uploads to Garmin Connect were some days ( upto 3 ) off. I think it was because I paired ( after removal of the battery ) only after the exercises. I did a new test ( simulated a training ) and uploaded again and the data and time were exact. So I guess the problem is really only with exercises done before the first pairing of the watch.

    Sorry for jumping into an existing thread but has anyone seen this happen with a watch that has already been paired? I've used and uploaded my Garmin swim countless times but hadn't uploaded the data since december/january. I just uploaded it and all my sessions are shown as starting between 21:01 and 21:49 on 24 Jan 2014 and they've uploaded in reverse distance order (21:49 is a little 650m paddle and 21:01 is 3k). Has anyone got any ideas what's causing this? I just uploaded a new entry where I started the stopwatch for a few seconds and it is showing the correct date and time but my 20+ earlier entries are all wrong.
