      Hi,

      I always have sunset alarm active, and it’s working ok.
      This week I have travel to India, and back.
      Now it sounds around 13:00 (which is clearly not sunset time).
      I suspect that it’s using Indian sunset time, while I’m in Spain

        @suzzlo Sunrise/Sunset times are based on your GPS location. Get GPS fix (either start an exercise or go to Navigation - Your location and wait for a fix).

        SV: fingers crossed :D
        S9 (non-baro): died after 2 months, replaced, holding strong since 03/20
        Spartan Trainer: casing broke after 23 months, repaired, lost watertightness 5 months later, died
        Despite some pretty bad luck, I still love Suunto!

          @inkognito you mean that I my watch is still in India? 🤔

          I can test it:

          • wait for the first alarm (13:00 aprox)
          • activate gps
          • wait for the second alarm (19:00 aprox)

          thanks!

            @suzzlo Yes, your watch thinks that it is still in the place where you used GPS last time.
            You can test it faster - use the outdoor watchface that shows sunset/sunrise time and check the values. Then get the GPS signal and test again 🙂

              They are so ephemeral and I lose them every time… What about dismiss them manually?

                @inkognito as you described, GPS did the trick. Thanks!
