Hi.
As stated in the documentation: [Schedule Trigger | X-Pack for the Elastic Stack [6.2] | Elastic](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/x-pack/current/trigger-schedule.html)
> Schedule [triggers](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/x-pack/current/trigger.html) define when the watch execution should start based on date and time. All times are specified in UTC time.
so 04:00 UTC + 07:00 timezone offset = 11:00, it is the expected way of working.
I'm afraid there is no easy way to overcome UTC "translations" when working with watcher.

I have seen since watcher 1.0 was around that it was always considered the responsibility of the user to arrange and maintain scheduled watches regardless of DST changes. For some users this is not easily scalable across multiple clusters with dozens of watches that must occur at the same \*relative\* time on a daily basis. It would be very useful within watcher to have a designated timezone configuration selection for scheduled watches that must be executed at the same relative time everyday instead of having to manually push the watch forwards or backwards an hour when the time change occurs.
