Problem with sending code to Bangle.js – error message and clock reset

Hi all,
my Bangle shipped a few days ago, and I started to play around with coding for it. However, I have a strange issue. When I put some code on the right-hand side of the web IDE and press "send to Espruino (RAM)", the code works, but I get

HEALTH ERR: Already written!

and my Bangle clock is reset by about 90 minutes back.

For the record, the code I'm sending is basically a buzzer-hello-world:

Bangle.buzz(200, 0.5).then(() => Bangle.buzz(200, 0.75)).then(() => Bangle.buzz(400, 1));

I'm on Chromium on GNU/Linux.

Any ideas what could be causing this?

Uploading apps from the App Loader seems to work correctly.

Out of interest, what's your timezone? You could try going into the Web IDE and disabling settings -> communications -> Set Current Time

Don't worry about the HEALTH ERR: Already written! error - that happens because the health app goes to write data and sees that it has already been written (probably because the time changed) - it doesn't mean anything bad has happened

Thanks, that was it! I'm at UTC+1, and my Bangle was (for some reason) set to UTC-0.5. Thanks you so much, good Lady or Sir! :-)
