Apple Watch GMT

Can anyone explain the meaning of the coloured (grey light grey) ring



And why when I set it to “Current Location” the ring is different to “London” surely they should be the same.

Danke

Doesn't that indicate when it's daylight? If the top is noon, it goes to a darker shade at sunset, & lightens again a t sunrise?

Are you talking about the rings on the bottom left? If so, they monitor your movements, steps and how many times you stand up.

No the main dial “bezel”

As you have set your second time zone to London, both times ARE now set the same.

Time zone (Local) is reading 09:48 using the traditional watch hands.

Second time zone (set to London) is reading nearly 10am using single red hand on outer bezel. Count on a little bit from the 9. This is a single hand reading 24 hours in a single 360 degree rotation of the dial. The grey is showing sunrise and sunset using this 24 GMT scale.

Ahh ok... thanks for that, it was puzzling me.

[thebraketester]

Seems to have a mind of its own.

[Ham_and_Jam]

Are you referring to it being 1 hour ahead?

[thebraketester]

No. The two tone grey bezel. Ignore the time it was taken yesterday.

I tried to recreate the issue on my watch and I can’t. Mine shows the sun rise and set as you would expect. Does not matter if I have it set to current location or somewhere else.

Apple Watch 5 ?
Mine is ‘wrong’ when in the watches ‘always on display’ state. The bars are in the same spot as the last pic above. Just noticed that the sweeping second hand also disappears.
It corrects when watch wakes up & display is brighter..

Yea the sweeping hands are supposed to stop in “always on” due to the decrease refresh rate of the screen to save battery.

The sunrise/set shows correctly if I set the GMT to LONDON, but it’s wrong when set to CURRENT.
