I have a Fitbit Sense 2. 

For the past six hours or so, Fitbit is showing Greenwich Mean Time (GMT) on my Fitbit.

I live in India, which is GMT+ 5 hours and 30 minutes. I went to Settings on my Fitbit app on my iPhone and checked "DATE & TIME". It shows Location: India; Time Zone: Asia/Kolkata. Both of these are as they should be.

I then clicked Time Zone and it said the 'Set Automatically From your phone' option is 'on', And my iPhone shows the correct Indian Standard Time (IST) which is GMT+ 5 hours and 30 minutes.

How do I get the Fitbit to show IST and not GMT.

Hi everyone, and a warm welcome to our new members.

Thanks for letting us know about this situation, and the steps that you've tried on your own. I wanted to let you know that this issue was escalated to our team, and it has been fixed.

I appreciate your patience and if you continue seeing the wrong time, I'd suggest opening the Fitbit app and pulling down on the Today screen to force a sync.

Same error.

Singapore GMT+8 showing GMT timing 

Tried to resync, turn off using phone time still not working.

But when I change to Hong Kong timing which is also GMT+8 it works. 

But changed back to Singapore it mess up again. 

I tried to change to Kuala Lumpur which is also GMT+8, still messed up. 

In the end I change to Hong Kong for the time being.

Yes, I did all of the same and my time is still not working. I'm in Abu Dhabi so think it's affecting non-US customers?

Despite so many complaints, there is no response!!

Same issue for Charge 6 and Versa 4 devices on their forum sections. Seems to be certain time zones only. Fitbit status dashboard of course does not show any associated issue with this. I would presume showing correct time is one of the main functions of a smartwatch. Fitbit, what say?

 I am experiencing the same issue with my Sense 2. I have tried resolving it by manually switching Location,Time zone, App signout, Phone restart but the problem persists. 

Best Answer

I'm having the same issue. No matter how I change my time zone, uninstall and install the app, kept restarting my watch, it just didn't resolve the issue. 

So I changed the country (with the same time zone) and it worked. You can try.
