Hi, I'm trying to use a Tomtom spark music watch as a regular watch (it was unused), after I tried to set the correct time and date I discovered that you need to install their app AND register an account! And that just to set the correct date! So I found your program, after compiling and setting udev rules it was just a matter of ttwatch --set-time.

Anyway whenever I opened the "hour" menu in the watch it was reset to wrong values. That has to do with GPS, as your program suggests.

So the final solution was updating the "quickfix" GPS info with ttwatch (ttwatch --update-gps), then starting a sport activity on the watch so that it activates GPS, waiting some minutes for GPS fix, and then the date was correct and the time could be set in the menu, with no further surprises.

Hope this can help someone else, bye and thanks.
