Wrong time

My Instinct battery ran entirely down. I charged it back up and the time was off by several hours. My phone was inches away, but nothing was changing.

So, I fired up Garmin Connect on the phone and in the process of trying to sort things out was told that I needed to give it permission for my devices to Sync. This probably also affects my Garmin 66i. And this would seem to be some Google induced security thing on my Pixel 6, perhaps that came along with Android 14.

Anyway, I tell it "sure, OK, this app is allowed to do that" and everything is fine. The first symptom was that Connect displayed my heart rate, then when I check the Instict it has the right time.
