Bangle JS2 off time

[vkuehn]

Hi,

now my Bangle JS2 is getting older and the time runs faster after a one or two days like 5 minutes ahead of time. Is there any other solution than manually setting the time every day ?

also the wrist band is broken are there any wrist band replacements ?
if not something for the JS 3 is guess...

I haven't really heard of the accuracy changing over time - that's a strange one. 5 minutes in two days is huge as well - that's around 2000ppm so if it was hardware drifting by that much I'd expect Bluetooth would have stopped working.

Is your firmware up to date? I know 1-2 years ago there was one firmware revision which caused some clock drift.

You could also try backing up your Bangle and doing a factory reset in case some app on the Bangle was messing things up.

But otherwise, if you're connected to an Android phone or iPhone then the time should update automatically.

There is also an app available where you can input the clock drift and it'll counter it: https://banglejs.com/apps/?id=widadjust - Check out the readme on that for more information (but generally it's expecting maximum a few seconds a day, not minutes!).

also the wrist band is broken are there any wrist band replacements ?

Yes, absolutely. We sell them at https://shop.espruino.com/banglejs2-strap

However the strap is a standard 20mm fitting, so if you search Amazon/etc for a 20mm watch strap you'll get a ton of options that'll ship next day for whatever country you're in.

After a lot of retries it now dit the upgrade from v22 to v27.

I like the nicer fonts
But after three day the time is still correct. So back in the game,

Thanks alot

Great, thanks for letting me know! Glad the firmware update fixed it - there are a whole bunch of improvements from 2v22 to 2v27 - it should feel a lot faster too
