Can't synchronise time #41

I so appreciate this app in keeping my watch alive while I can't afford a new one. Unfortunately, I went away and it has reset itself. When I try and synchronise the time, it just gives me the difference between the time on the computer and the time on the watch, but doesn't actually synchronise the time…

Yeah, that has to do with how the watch syncs time. Basically it syncs the time based on the GPS signal. The only thing you can do from TomTomWatch is sync the timezone or the time offset setting of the watch. IE set the difference with respect to UTC equal to your PC. Don't expect it to sync the time to the PC time to the second, because that won't be of any use: first time you go outside and start the watch it syncs to the satellite time
