This time they do adjusted the time seasonally for summer time (from GMT-4 into GMT-3). Now I am in Chile, and here they tend to change the time system without much logic (some years they change seasonally and others do not). At least when the phone Date and Time are set manually (automatic is disabled). A second option to solve this, even better, would be to keep the watch as it is but adding then on Gear app, the feature under settings to adjust manually the time on the watch, perhaps just next to Backup/Restore.Ĭlearly this is a bug, because the watch should sync the time when connected to Gear and it is not doing it.
#How to adjust time zone on synctime watch manual
These menus (Date and Time, Language etc) should be available for manual use all the time on the watch. My first impression is that this bug should be fixed by simple removing the automatic removal of the menus when connecting the watch to Gear. Two bad Samsung has two types of "standalone" modes.

On this mode, the full menu should appear, but now I understand that "standalone" can also be when you setup the phone entirely without Gear connection. On the watch (top menu) it states "standalone". I thought that if you set "airplane" mode, or disconnect any bluetooth/wifi/remote feature, the watch is on "standalone" mode.
I read on a guide for Gear S2 or Classic, I do not recall well, that these menu are only available on standalone mode. Once the first setup is finished and I have access to the menus, there I find /Settings/Device/Date and Time as well as Language etc. There the watch asks for language, timezone etc. In another attempt to fix this, I reset the watch again but tried setting it as a standalone device without phone connection (no Gear). Anyway, the menu ends on "Auto open apps" without "Date and Time" and without "Language" neither. I took a sreenshot of the menu but "Quick reply" does not allow me to attach the image. However, the time is wrong, not the same as on the phone, Gear does not have a feature to manually change the time on the watch and on the watch side, the option "Date and Time" simply does not exist under Settings/Device/. I tried again and the restore worked fine. After connecting it to the phone (Gear) again and attempting to restore the backup, the process crashes if the phone is on the charging cradle. Many thanks for your attention into this. Perhaps a reset may solve the issue but it would be quite a shame for a watch to need that extreme step to be able to adjust the time on it.Īnybody else have found "date and time" section on the Settings/Device menu gone? Restarting the watch, modifying the time on the phone, puting the watch on standalone mode, changing location options, all them do not lead to automatic change of the time nor make the "Date and Time" menu show up again under Setting/Device. Until you need to chage the time manually, many may not know that the menu has gone from the setting section.įrom what I have found, this bug seems to happen on SM-R760 (bluetooth only) and I do not know if it includes other models. I am not saying it caused the bug but it is worth to check with others users.
#How to adjust time zone on synctime watch update
The only update from Samsung I recall have made on mine (other than apps and faces) has been the package for S-voice. The device is primarily a watch and it is quite bad that sudently there is no way to adjust its time. Now if we take this issue seriously, we should try to find a solution. Well, the watch DOES NOT syncs and that is part of the problem. However, in all forums I have found users posting this problem, somebody downplays the issue by speculating the watch syncs wth the phone automatically. To me, this is clearly some kind of bug since the watch did have the option on the setting menu a month ago. There is no Settings/Device/Date and Time section on the menu, the time DOES NOT sync with the phone, Gear app does not have a way to change time manually neither and so, I have no way to change the time on my watch accordingly to the season. My Gear S3 Frontier (SM-R760) has the same problem. This may be an important bug on some watches and it should be addressed more seriously. Dear Chris, with all due respect the question is valid and the user should have received from you a proper answer from a Moderator than a "what your wanting to do here".
