Clock is not updated when i changed it manually from Iphone

Greetings,

I am from Egypt and our official time usually changes from GMT +2 to GMT +1 in summer.

I have changed the time in my Settings to manual to match the official time, whilst the iWatch time was changed to GMT +0.

Is there a way to match both times ?

Apple Watch, iOS 8.2

Hi

Try restarting your watch:

Restart Apple Watch: Press and hold the side button until you see the Power Off slider; Drag the slider to turn off completely; Afterwards, press and hold the side button until you see the Apple logo.

I have had restarted numerous times and have just done it now.

There is 1 hour difference between both watch and iphone.

In my iphone the gmt +2 but the official time now is gmt +1, so i have changed the clock backwards 1 hour.

But the watch recognizes it as 1 hour difference from the new time.

Try also restarting (or, if that doesn't work, force restarting) your iPhone:

Restart iPhone: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the red slider appears; Drag the slider to turn your iPhone off; When it has finished turning off, press and hold the Sleep/Wake button again until you see the Apple logo.

Force restart iPhone: press and hold both the Sleep/Wake and Home button for at least 10 seconds, until you see the Apple logo.

You may also need to restart your Apple Watch again.

Hi

Try unpairing and re-pairing your iPhone and Apple Watch, choosing to restore your Apple Watch from backup (when offered the option by the iPhone Apple Watch app) during set up. Re-pairing is straightforward and will retain most* of your data and settings.

Unpair your Apple Watch and iPhone - Apple Support

Set up your Apple Watch - Apple Support

* Not included in the restore: calibration data (from Workout and Activity apps), synced playlists, cards used for Apple Pay on your watch, watch passcode.
