 I have the Watch 8 Classic. One watch face shows today a August 31, I forget the name. The Perpetual shows it as August 1. But the Digital Dashboard and Basic dashboard shows the correct date a Sept 1st. Why does some watch faces show the wrong date. One I took it off auto date correct and manually changed it to Sept 1st, but the face showed Sept 30th.

Why does different faces show different dates when they all should be automatically corrected by the date on the watch, which is correct?

Hmmm. Where do you live, because on most of the world today is August 1st not September 1st.1754058826509.jpg

watch.jpgNo, I wish. I'm just an OldFart61. I found it. It is one I downloaded from the, more watch faces on Google Play. Called BFF2- Digital: Colorfull. Yes, it has 2 Ls. I am using it now and it still says Aug 31st 2025. Why would that one watch face have that date when all the rest have the correct day of, you are all right, Aug 1st.

Watches get their date & time from the connected phone, so if your phone date is correct, the watch date should be correct, regardless of which watch face you are using.  Do you have your phone on automatic time/date settings or did you set it manually to the incorrect date?  Is your phone date correct?

Yes my phone's date and  time is correct. Like I said, this is the only one that I used that has the wrong date. All of the rest has the correct date.

Today, all across the USA it is Friday, August 1, 2025. You seem confused. Yesterday, was Thursday, July 31, 2025 and August comes after July and before September. I know Tennessee ranks low in education, but one should still know basic calendar progression.

I forgot to add that I figured out what is the problem. It was the watch face itself. One said Aug 31st and another one Perpetual face actually showed Aug 1st. Figure that one out.6576.jpg
