I paired my Apple Watch with my iPhone. I am traveling and need the local time. iPhone is set to automatically adjust but I don’t know how to get the watch to adjust to the time shown on my phone or even how to adjust the time on my watch separately. Help!

Hello Lydialou,


I understand that you are having an issue of setting the correct time zone for your Apple Watch Series 8. One might resolve this issue by manually setting the time on your iPhone. To do this, navigate to Settings > General > Date & Time, and disable the "Set Automatically" option. Then, proceed to manually adjust the time according to your desired settings. This should seamlessly sync the time between your Apple Watch and iPhone!


Cheers!
