Overview
- Users reported that after recent daylight saving time rollbacks their Apple Watch Always On display showed a time one hour behind while the active display showed the correct hour.
- Apple published a support document that confirms the behavior and says the incorrect hour appears only when the wrist is down.
- Apple’s recommended fixes are to switch to another watch face and back or to restart the watch, and the company says the issue will clear itself at the next midnight after the time change if no action is taken.
- Core time features such as alarms are not affected, so scheduled alarms and timers continue to run on the correct schedule.
- The problem appears linked to the watch’s low‑power display state rather than its timekeeping, and similar reports after Europe’s recent clock change point to a software display‑state caching bug rather than a hardware fault.
