Apple Offers Steps to Fix Daylight Saving Time Bug on Apple Watch
Nov 01, 2026
Apple has published a support document describing what to do if your Apple Watch continues to show time that's off by one hour after daylight savings time changes. "This incorrect time appears only on the Always On display when your wrist is down," says Apple. "When you activate the display by tappi
ng it or raising your wrist, the time changes to the correct hour."

Clocks went back across most of the U.S. on Sunday, November 1.Related Roundups: Apple Watch 12, Apple Watch SE 3, Apple Watch Ultra 4Buyer's Guide: Apple Watch (Buy Now), Apple Watch SE (Neutral), Apple Watch Ultra (Buy Now)Related Forum: Apple WatchThis article, "Apple Offers Steps to Fix Daylight Saving Time Bug on Apple Watch" first appeared on MacRumors.comDiscuss this article in our forums
