Anyone know how to change the day on my Garmin?  It is been showing as Saturday, 21st.  

The calendar shows the 21st as a Tuesday.  The Connect site it's synced to shows correctly.  Just the one bit on the watch is wrong.

    Go outside with it and make sure it gets a GPS lock.  That should make sure its internal clock is correct.  If it is correct then all is good.  If it is still out try syncing with the Garmin Connect app on a phone.

    My wife has a Garmin device that went through the motions of syncing but nothing was transferred. Had to delete the device in the app and re-pair it.

    Is the year set to 2025?

    don't know how to get a GPS lock but I've been in and out and all round about without it correcting.

    Syncing doesn't seem to be working - likely this stopped when I let the battery run too low.  Will keep checking this.

    I guess it could be thinking it's 2025 or whatever....but how to tell?  And why would it be right when one opens the calendar but not when one sees the day with the time?

    TBH, that sounds kind of impossible.  It's just that's the closest year on which the 21st June is a Saturday

    To force a GPS lock, go outside and start an outdoor walk or run activity and just wait - it might take a few minutes to find the satellites though.

    Edit: what model of garmin do you have?
