Apple Watch Glitch After Daylight Saving? Company Shares Quick Fixes
Apple acknowledges an Apple Watch display glitch after daylight saving time changes and shares two quick fixes.
Key points
- The Always On display can show a time one hour behind or ahead of the correct local time after clocks change.
- Alarms, timers and other time-based functions work normally, and the correct time shows when the wrist is raised or the screen tapped.
- Restarting the watch or switching watch faces refreshes the display, or it corrects itself at midnight after the daylight saving change.
Why it matters. Users who glance at their watch without raising their wrist could be confused by the wrong hour until the display refreshes.
Apple said in a support document that the Always On display on Apple Watch may show a time one hour off after daylight saving changes. Only the dimmed display visible when the wrist is down is affected, while alarms and timers work normally and the correct time appears when the wrist is raised. The company said the issue is not a fault with the device's internal clock and suggested restarting the device, switching watch faces, or waiting for the display to correct itself at midnight.
