How does the Apple Watch handle the Activities and the goals when I switch the timezone?
On a long distance flight with a timezone difference of nine hours, when would be the best moment to switch to the timezone of the destination airport, so that the Stand goal can be completed, even if the day is nine hours shorter at the destination?

I did mine on the plane, it did not take effect until it got a signal when we reached the airport. I'd assume you need to ensure your rings are complete before you change the time zone.
I found that you had to get all your exercise in in the hours that were left in your shortened day at your destination.

Thank you, Winston Churchill. That looks like a sleepless night, but feasable! 😁
The other direction is problematic too. I tested a bit, and when I set the watch back a few hours, like for flying westward, all stands and exercise entries I had aquired were gone. They reappeared, when I advanced the watch again, but it seems to be problematic to complete the goals, before the timezone is changed.

Did you change the time on the watch? When I changed the time on my iPhone the watch immediately followed suite(i had temporarily disabled flight mode).
I changed the timezone on the phone only if I remember correctly. I did it on the ground before departure, it took effect upon arrival and turning of flight mode.
Thanks, WC!
