Conﬁ guring Current Time and Date Settings Manually

You can conﬁ gure current time and date settings manually when using the watch in an area where a GPS

signal or time calibration signal cannot be received, or whenever else auto time and date adjustment is

not possible for some reason.

Important!

x You do not need to perform the procedure below when the time and date settings are correct.

x After performing the procedure below, it is recommended that you move to a location that is

appropriate for GPS signal reception, acquire position information, and conﬁ

gure time and date

settings in accordance with your location.

See “Appropriate Signal Reception Location (GPS Signal)” (page E-29) and “Acquiring GPS Position

Information” (page E-30).

To change the current time and date settings manually

1. In any mode, pull out the crown to the second click.

x This will cause the

Second Hand to move to the city code

(time zone) of the currently selected Home City (Time Zone).

x Leaving the crown pulled out for more than two minutes

without performing any operation will automatically cause

crown operations to become disabled. If this happens, press

the crown back in, pull it out, and then start the operation

over again.

2. Change the Home City (Time Zone) setting, if you want.

x To change the Home City (Time Zone) setting, perform step 2

under “To conﬁ gure Home City (time zone) settings” (page E-59).

Note

x In the cases described below, acquiring GPS signal position information will automatically select the

AT (AUTO) setting.

− When the time zone is different from the one that was in effect before the receive operation

− When acquisition is performed after changing locations (received summertime start/end times and

dates are different from those in effect prior to the acquisition operation)

E-61

To switch between standard time and summer time manually

1. Perform steps 1 and 2 under “To conﬁ gure Home City (time zone) settings”

(page E-59).

x Displaying the Home City (Time Zone) Settings screen will cause the

Mode Hand to move to AT (AUTO) (auto switching), STD (standard time),

or DST (daylight saving time).

AT (AUTO)

The watch automatically switches between standard time and daylight

saving time in accordance with its calendar.

STD The watch always shows standard time.

DST The watch always shows daylight saving time.

2. Hold down A for about one second to cycle through the summer time settings as shown below.

AT (AUTO) STD DST

3. After the setting is way you want, push the crown back in.

E-60

2. Rotate the crown to move the

Second Hand to the city code

(time zone) you want to select as your Home City (Time Zone).

x Each time you select a city code (time zone), the

Hour

Hand,

Minute Hand and

Day Indicator move to the

current time and date for that city code (time zone).

x The

Mode Hand shows the summer time setting for the

currently selected Home City (Time Zone).

3. Push the crown back in to return to the mode you started from

in step 1.

STD/DST Switching

You can select summer time or standard time independently for each city (time zone). The initial default

setting for all cities is AT (AUTO).

Normally you should use the AT (AUTO) setting because it automatically switches between summer time

and standard time. Note, however, that in the cases below you need to change the summer time setting to

DST manually during the applicable summer time period.

− When the dot (

) mark on the watch’s bezel or dial ring was set manually (when the dot ( ) mark is

set automatically, there is no need to change the setting from AT (AUTO)).

− The actual applicable summer time period is different from the setting summer time period in the

watch.

See “City/Time Zone Indicators and Time Offset Table” (page L-3).
