Global Face — understand world time and location

Current timezone drives the displayed main time. Auto follows the watch. A manual UTC offset stays fixed, including through daylight-saving changes.

Current location name changes the label only. It does not geocode a city or change the globe coordinates. The face uses the available position supplied by Garmin, then the last position it saved locally. Automatic city naming is limited to a small built-in set; elsewhere it shows WATCH LOCATION.

Choose Alternate city only in Field 4. Set the city label and timezone underneath Field 4. For example, naming it LONDON does not automatically apply London’s daylight-saving rules: choose UTC+0 or UTC+1 as appropriate. The alternate timezone is not printed below this clock.

The face does not continuously run GPS or record a route. If no position is available, it uses its saved/default location and may show NO GPS. Obtain a GPS fix using a normal outdoor activity, then return to the face. Availability and refresh behaviour depend on the watch.
