The issue
A few weeks ago, some Apple Watch users running watchOS 27 reported a daylight saving glitch after clocks went back in the UK and Europe on Sunday. In a MacRumors forum thread, five users, several of them in the UK and central Europe, said their watches showed the correct time when activated, but the Always On display continued to show summer time, leaving it an hour ahead.

The problem has also been reported in StandBy mode. Restarting the watch resolved the issue for three users, while a sixth poster said switching the watch face also worked. A similar issue was reported in StandBy mode, and restarting the watch reportedly fixed that problem as well.
Clocks went back across most of the US on Sunday, November 1.
