    In theory, a GPS watch should be able to set the time automatically and precisely from the satellites. Hopefully the devs know this.

      Time is part of the equation for position. But you still have to deal with week cycle rollovers on GPS L1 so it’s best to let user at least set the time.

        Well I hope the watch can at least update the time every time it acquires a location. Or when you travel to a new time zone it should be able to update automatically without internet access.
