Apple has acknowledged a timekeeping bug hitting the Apple Watch around the daylight saving transition. As MacRumors reported, the company published a support document describing what to do if a watch continues to display a time that is off by one hour after daylight saving time changes.

The timing is no accident: the advisory landed on November 1, just as clocks in the U.S. fall back and devices everywhere adjust automatically. For most Apple hardware that adjustment is invisible, which makes a smartwatch stubbornly stuck an hour out particularly conspicuous — the watch face is, after all, the product's core job.

Apple's document lays out the steps users should take to force the watch back onto the correct time rather than waiting for it to sort itself out. The company notes the incorrect time appears only in specific circumstances, so not every Apple Watch owner will run into the issue.

DST bugs are a recurring seasonal headache for connected devices, and Apple has dealt with clock-change quirks on the Watch in previous years. Affected users should check Apple's support site for the current guidance rather than resorting to a full reset first.
