Wrong time zone difference shown when joining a challenge?

[ejain]

I was recently invited to join a "weekend warrior" challenge that was started by someone in a time zone that is 8 hours ahead of mine (so I'd start at Friday 15:00). When joining the challenge, Fitbit warned me that the challenge is 15 hours ahead...

It's nice to see you around more often @ejain! My best suggestion is that you be in the same timezone as the challenge creator since you might have issues with your steps not updating correctly with your challenge when trying to sync your data. The challenge begins and ends in the owner's timezone.

Hope this helps, have a nice week!

Just to be clear, the challenge worked perfectly fine; only the warning that was shown when joining the challenge appeared to be miscalculated.

Hey there @ejain thanks for the update my friend! Ohhh..sorry for the misunderstanding I believe the warning appear since Fitbit suggests all the Challenge participants to be in the same timezone to avoid any discrepancy. 

If you have questions let me know!
