AppleWatch 4.3.2 won't display same time {one hour ahead} as iPhone 16.6

Hi.

I have a 38mm watch, series 1, I think, and the weirdest thing is happening: it's showing one hour ahead of the iPhone. I've selected the "mirror iPhone" setting, and still I have two different times between devices.

I unpaired the phone this morning because it was displaying an hour earlier than the phone. Now after pairing it again {as per Apple Support suggestion}, it's one hour ahead.

Any ideas or suggestions on how to correct this?

Thank you!

iPhone SE, iOS 15

Hello Jorge Inchaurregui,

We'd like to provide you with a few steps that may be able to allow your Apple Watch to display the correct time:

"Set the date and time automatically

The option to set the date and time automatically might not be available for your device.* Follow these steps to make sure that your device is able to set the time and time zone automatically.

On your iPhone or iPad

Make sure that you have the latest version of iOS or iPadOS.
Turn on Set Automatically in Settings > General > Date & Time. This automatically sets your date and time based on your time zone. Is this setting dimmed?
If a message appears saying that updated time zone information is available, restart your device and any paired Apple Watch.
Allow your device to use its current location to determine the correct time zone. To do this, go to Settings > Privacy & Security > Location Services > System Services and turn on Setting Time Zone.
Check that your device shows the correct time zone in Settings > General > Date & Time > Time Zone."

More info here: If you can't change the time or time zone on your Apple device

If the issue persists, we suggest that you connect back with Apple for further assistance: Get Support

Best wishes.

Hi, Grace2211.

Thank you for taking the time to respond to my post.

I've checked my iPhone, and all the settings are as you mention in points 4 and 5, and the Watch is still one hour faster.

I'll check with Apple to see if they have any additional ideas. Since my device is considered "classic," they don't seem interested enough.

Have a great weekend!
