Garmin Vivoactive and daylight savings time (Read 103 times)

    Garmin Vivoactive did not update to daylight savings time. I went onto Garmin Connect and changed the settings, but it still shows an hour off. Anybody know what to do? Any help would be appreciated.

      So you synced it, but it still didn't change?

      There was a point in my life when I ran. Now, I just run.

        That's right

          Are you syncing to computer or phone?

            Either way i would make sure the time on the device is correct when syncing, un-pair then re-pair to see if that works.  Finally, check the firmware and make sure that is up to date and reinstall that.  Hopefully, one of those things work.

              Thanks. I am using a computer, not a phone. I did install the updates. However, I didn't try unsyncing and resyncing. Seems to be my only hope!

                With absolutely no knowledge of the Vivoactive (other than reading a review or two..), let me ask a silly question -- have you had it do a GPS synch yet (as you would before a run)?  Many Garmin devices adjust to the time change when they get a GPS synch.

                Acceptable at a dance, invaluable in a shipwreck.

                  Maybe your watch thinks you live in Arizona or that part of Indiana that doesn't have daylight savings.

                    that part of Indiana that doesn't have daylight savings.

                     

                    Is that the same part that started observing daylight savings in 2006?

                            Definitely. Boston athletes and Bolivian marching powder have a winning record.

                              Yes. I thought that would do it too. But it didn't.

                               

                              I am going to call their 800# later. Maybe a real person is somewhere at the end of that call.
