Garmin devices have to be updated frequently enough that they are going to have the correct local time. Camera firmware is only updated when there's an update, and that's not every year and frequency becomes much less often as the camera ages.

In more recent devices Garmin has handled that by having the time zone data separate from the main firmware. Older Garmin units, but still new enough to implement this scheme, typically receive time zone updates and only that. The main firmware of the device is not updated any longer.

They also update themselves more of less automatically. The only thing the user needs to do is confirm loading of the update.
