Recently time zone was changed in Turkey. It was UTC + 2, now opting out of DST, time zone is permanently UTC + 3. All iOS devices updated correctly.
However, on my Apple Watch, it asked for 'There is an updated Time Zone Settings, click OK to apply' or similar and I accidentally said no. Now it shows the wrong time.
How can apply the updated time zone settings?
I have tried restarting, updating to watchOS 3.0.1, airplane mode on/off, nothing seems to be working.
Any ideas?
Your location and time zone settings are linked. You have to choose a location to change your time zone. This doesn’t affect your location in your documents or Autofill, as those use the data from your Contact Card.
The server has nothing to do with the time zone. It supplies the time in UTC+0, and it is up to your devices to use their knowledge of your time zone to work out what the time is where you are. For your Mac, in the Date & Time preferences, check where your Mac 'thinks' it is:
The same applies for your iPhone:
If it is identifying you as being in the wrong time zone, or if the time zone is correct but the time is wrong, I suggest setting your time zone to St Petersburg manually, and seeing if that fixes the problem. I just tried setting my time to St Petersburg manually, and it appeared to be the correct time, so I don't think Apple's information about Russia's time zones is out of date.

On your iPhone, go to settings, general, date/time. Disable auto time zone and switch to another time zone. Then switch back to your own time zone (maybe wait a bit for the watch to pick up the change?). It will ask you again.
