This morning I woke up and the time on my (non-connected) wrist watch didn't match up with the time on my phone (or my partners phone and her smart watch). A quick search on the internet seems to confirm that the time on my Casio is the correct time.
We would have been an hour early for our bus, if it wasn't for my "dumb" watch.
I'm still unsure what made our phones change the time like this. They are both android, but a third android phone kept the correct time, so it's not all android phones...
We are in Mexico on holiday, and Mexico recently stopped with daylight savings, so maybe that hasn't been updated properly in android?
Changing my location to Belize, a country that keeps the same time zone and also doesn't change their clocks gives me the correct time. This will have to do as a "fix" for now... 🤷

They will have been aware of this problem since many years ago. They don't' care and they can't (won't) fix it. Keeping the timezone database up to date was simply not contemplated in Android, and the files that need to be updates are "protected" by the same "protections" that stop you disabling surveillance systems and other undesirable software that you are obliged to run on the device. If you want to fix it, you'll probably have to get a new phone.

Oof, that is worse than I thought... I guess a country with 128 million inhabitants is a "edge-case" for them?
Setting the time zone to a different country, with the correct settings, like Belize, is a cheaper fix than getting a new phone though 😃
