Whether you travel frequently, have loved ones in different time zones, or simply need to keep track of time in another location, a custom Garmin watch face with multiple time zones is the solution you’re looking for.

In this short article, I will show you two ways you can set up a watch face with two or even more time zones on your Garmin watch. For the purpose of demonstration, I will use my Garmin Fenix 7 but don’t worry, even if you have an old Forerunner 230, you should be covered!

METHOD 1.

Create a Multiple Time Zone Watch Face with a Built-in Widget

On many of Garmin’s newer and higher-end watches, such as Garmin Fenix, you can create a watch face with multiple time zones using the Alt. Time Zones widget, so first check if it’s available on your watch. If it is, continue with Step 1.

Step 1. Setting Up Alternate Times Zones

1. While on a watch face, press and hold the UP/MENU button  
2. Navigate to Clocks -> Alt. Time Zone, or in the glances, find or add the Alt. Time Zones widget
3. At the bottom of the list, select + Add Alt. Time Zone.
