I don't think so, because it recorded tracks with the right dates in
November, so apparently somewhere between 20th November last year and 1st
Jan this year.

A victim of the gps week roll over in April last year maybe? If so, you should 
be good until November 2038 (although there’s plenty of other epochs that will 
break stuff before then I reckon)

I was using an older Garmin etrex Legend HC as a backup track recorder over the 
New Year, and failed to find my tracks. It turns out that the date is incorrect

Anyone who still uses these may be interested that a firmware patch is 
available: (https://support.garmin.com/en-GB/?faq=qpVUfZBKI28PqnPd6HuXa6.

I've run this from Windows 10 successfully for my GPS.

Happy New Year,
