Week numbers 2020 - 2021

Good to hear, although I think it’s only a partial fix. While many Euro countries will now be fine, the US and Latin America, for example, will still show the wrong week number.

Peter’s suggestion of setting English (United Kingdom) as the default language for the week number field (combined with de-selecting any languages with broken calendars such as English (United States)) would, I think, resolve the issue everywhere, except for the day that the week starts. In the UK and many other regions the week starts on Monday, but in the US it starts on Sunday, so that would still be wrong in the US in this example.

I guess it’s a judgement on the degree of “wrongness” that is acceptable.

Implementing the first solution would fix some Euro areas and need no further action once a patch from Samsung is available which fixes the broken calendars.

The second solution will fix the week number everywhere but not the week start day and a patch from Samsung would not impact this, so another update to the watch would be needed to re-enable those calendars previously deselected.

It’s getting a bit complicated. Sorry!
