@sartoric Started several activities in Jokkmokk…after syncing the watch to the phone app. The app knew exactly where I was, shame it didn’t bother telling the watch.
-
@Egika Just did that on the watch, all is fine now-as you said it would be. Thank you
Seems that the app doesn’t tell the watch where it is. Something that basic should be automatic really. -
@Ramrod no, the app only sets time/date/timezone, for the position on the watch you need GPS.

A daylight savings time could occur when you are without a phone or out of cell range. You could change time zones out of cell range. I think better to have the watch know sunrise/sunset rather than the phone.

However the app (when connecting to the watch) says ‘optimizing GPS performance’ Misleading…
-
@Ramrod misleading what? It is downloading information about satellites position into the watch.
-
@Ramrod That is so the watch can connect rapidly to the satellites to update position. It is not for setting time and allows a much more accurate start to the GPS track.

@Egika hi, please how to do that? How to get correct gps fix? I have the same problem with my Suunto Vertical right now. I have selected the activity type, waited to get position, synched with SuuntoApp and I still see incorrect sunrise/sunset times for my home location. I have moved between countries.

@thailon Just start an activity or open the map widget on the watch and wait untill you see that the watch found your location
