Since the day light saving started on March 9th, I keep getting daily notification on my Galaxy Watch 7 Ultra to update my time zone. The time on my connected phone and watch is up to date. Why the glitch on my watch? What can I do to stop this constant notification?

Make sure you have auto time zone on in your phone settings.  The watch time is automatically synced to the phone time and time zone.  If you have your time zone set manually on your phone, make sure it's the correct time zone.  It's easiest just to set automatic date and time, automatic time zone and set time zone based on location. Set it and forget it, unless for some reason you need to change it manually.

Thanks for your response. I have auto time zone on. I don't know if the notification is a glitch.

It's probably a glitch.  See what happens if you manually set the time zone to someplace else and then turn it back to where you are and then turn automatic back on.  That may force it to clear.

I am getting that notification numerous times a day and have automatic time zone set.  This has been happening since I returned from another time zone and it automatically changed correctly.

@AR003939  & @Megistic What calendar app are you using?  The message may be coming from your calendar.  Both Google and Samsung calendars have a setting to keep your events on your home time zone.  You have to turn that on and then set the time zone.  Check your calendar settings.  In Google calendar, tap the bar menu on the upper left, scroll down to settings and select the General category.  Turn off the slider to use device time zone and then set your home time zone.  In Samsung Calendar, tap the bar menu on the left and tap the settings gear on the upper right of the slide out panel. Scroll down to more settings and turn on "lock time zone" and then set your time zone.  This has the benefit of not time shifting your calendar entries.  This is probably where those notifications are coming from.

Thanks, both settings were already as you suggested, so I don't think that's it.
