Why Gambier has its own time
French Polynesia spans 3 time zones, so the answer depends on where in it you mean. Gambier covers gambier islands and is 1 hour ahead Tahiti, which is the zone most people mean by “the time in French Polynesia”.
Gambier does not observe daylight saving, so its offset from UTC never moves. Its relationship to places that do change shifts twice a year instead.
