Whether you are a hard-core runner, endurance athlete, or a casual gym-goer, Garmin has a fitness watch for you. The company produces some of the best fitness and GPS watches on the market. Like most watch manufacturers, Garmin bundles its watches with a mobile app that lets you monitor your health and wellness. The app also syncs with your watch and can be used to configure the core settings.
The Garmin app typically handles the configuration successfully, but sometimes problems do arise. One major issue is the clock can be off by hours because of an incorrect setting on the watch. Got too much time on your Garmin watch? We can help you fix it quickly and easily.
No matter which Garmin watch you own, the process to set the time is pretty much the same. You first need to access the settings on the watch by tapping on the display of touchscreen-enabled watches or using the external buttons on non-touchscreen devices. Once you have accessed the settings, you need to open the System menu and find the Time options.
Step 1: Tap on the display of touchscreen-enabled watches or use the external buttons on non-touchscreen devices to access settings.
Step 2: Once you have accessed the settings, tap the System menu. Tap the Time options. The time settings allow you to pick your time zone, time format (12 or 24-hour), and the source of the time on your device.
Step 3: Depending on your watch model, you can choose to set the time with GPS, enter it manually, or have it update automatically.
Step 4: The Auto setting is the most convenient because it updates the time for you. Use the app to sync your watch with your phone or tablet. The time will be corrected. The auto setting adjusts based on your location, making it ideal for those who travel. It also compensates for daylight saving changes for those in the U.S.
If you are a person who typically runs late, you can select your watch ahead to compensate for your tardiness. If you prefer not to rely on syncing your watch regularly, you also can change the time manually. This manual option allows you to set the time as you see fit.
Step 1: Tap on the display of touchscreen-enabled watches or using the external buttons on non-touchscreen devices to access settings.
Step 5: Tap Manual. Tap Time and enter the time on the clock face.
Last but not least, some watches let you set the time using GPS. This GPS option requires an unobscured view of the sky to connect to satellites that can pinpoint your location and transmit the exact time.
Step 1: Tap the System menu on the watch.
Step 3: Tap Set time with GPS. When the watch gets the GPS setting, it will update.
Your Garmin watch will display the correct time nine out of ten times. It's this 10% that can be so frustrating. Your watch pulls the time from the phone it's connected to. It's possible your connected phone has an incorrect time. Check your phone first before you start fiddling with the settings on the watch.
Another thing to consider is your location. Did you recently travel? It's possible your watch didn't update to the new time zone. A recent software update also could reset your clock to factory settings.
Can't quite get the time correct on your Garmin watch? Are you tired of fussing with it? You can easily reset the time and date on your Garmin watch by going to the settings on the watch.
Step 1: Open the Settings on the watch. Scroll to and tap System.
Step 2: Tap Reset and tap Delete data and reset settings.
This process will wipe all the data from your watch. Make sure you have a backup of your data by syncing your watch with the mobile app. After you have reset the watch, you can use the Garmin mobile app to connect to your watch and configure it correctly this time.
Are you tired of paying for streaming services you never watch just to get a phone plan feature you actually want? T-Mobile has good news for you! The carrier is rolling out new plans, called T-Mix, in early November to replace its old Experience lineup with a build-your-own perks system called Picks.
The benefits you choose vary from streaming and gaming to food delivery, AI, satellite service, and phone discounts. But if you are satisfied with your existing plan, you can keep it.
Merely days after the iPhone Duo hit the shelves, images of broken screens on the phone started popping up across social media. Until now, it’s been unclear what’s causing the line of defective pixels that appears vertically along the crease, as well as horizontally, on the phone’s inner display.
Apple has finally acknowledged the issue, which has shown up on iPhone Duo units owned by customers as well as demo units in stores. In a statement shared with Bloomberg, Apple says that not all iPhone Duo units are affected and that those that are tend to show the display fault early on. The company added that users who experience problems with their iPhone Duo display should contact AppleCare for a replacement.
Not long ago, Apple treated independent repair like an act of outright hostility. The Cupertino giant locked down parts with serial-number pairing, while repair tools remained firmly out of reach of anyone outside its authorized repair network. More importantly, the company waged a legal and lobbying battle against right-to-repair legislation.
I've covered enough of these fights over the years to know what a shift looks like. That's why what happened in October 2026 genuinely caught me off guard. The day the iPhone Duo went on sale, what may be the most mechanically complex iPhone to date, Apple pulled off a surprising about-face. It published teardown-style repair manuals for a handful of major components.
