Apple Watch Series 3 is showing the wrong time

My watch series 3 is showing the wrong time. I flew back from east coast and it appears to be stuck on east coast time. Weather is updated by location. Can’t figure out how to fix it. Have restarted both watch and phone. I can’t find a way to manually adjust time. Help!

I assume your iPhone is showing the correct time.


The first (and simplest) thing to try if something isn’t working right is to restart your Apple Watch and its paired iPhone. If necessary (device not responding), try a forced restart. Both methods can be found here:

If that doesn't help, the next steps would be to unpair and pair your watch again and restore from the backup just created. This deletes all temp and corrupted files and re-indexes the file system.
