Time zone adjustment
The time zone where you are is localized to adjust the watch to the precise current time by just one button operation anywhere in the world.
This reflects the data regarding the adoption of DST (Daylight Saving Time) in the country that received the GPS signals.
The time automatically switches to adjust for the adoption and duration of DST (Daylight Saving Time) for countries that follow DST (Daylight Saving Time).
“Normal time” always appears for countries that do not adopt DST (Daylight Saving Time).
Failure or success of reception depends on the reception environment. Place where GPS signals can be easily received/Place where GPS signals cannot be received
GPS signal reception consumes considerable energy.
It is necessary to charge the watch by exposing it to light so that the multi-function indicator hand can continuously display the day of the week (the energy level will be “middle” or “full”). How to charge the watch
(If the energy level is “low,” reception will not begin even if GPS signal reception is operated.)
Check the charging status
Precautions on time zone adjustment
If the time zone is adjusted near a time zone boundary, the time of the adjacent time zone may be displayed.
In some areas the boundaries observed by the watch may not exactly correlate to the actual time zone markers on the land. This does not indicate a malfunction.
In this case, set the time zone in the manual time zone setting mode.
When the time zone is adjusted while traveling on land, avoid time zone boundaries to carry out time zone adjustment in the representative cities in the time zone whenever possible.
In addition, when the watch is used near time zone boundaries, make sure to check the time zone setting, and manually set the time zone as necessary.
How to adjust the time zone
-
Go to a place where GPS signals can be easily received
-
Continue to press Button B (3 seconds), and then release it when the seconds hand moves to the 30-second position
-
Direct the watch face upward and wait
-
When the seconds hand points to “Y” or “N”, reception is completed
Move to the outdoors under an open sky with good visibility.
When the seconds hand has reached the 30-second position, reception is started.
The multi-function indicator hand points to “4+”.
Press for 3 seconds
While the multi-function indicator hand points to “low,” 
or “CHR”, reception is not started even with operation for reception.
When the hand points to “low,” charge the watch by exposure to light.
Check the charging status
How to charge the watch

Please note that it may be difficult to receive GPS signals while you are in motion.
It takes a maximum of 2 minutes to complete reception.
It depends on the receiving conditions.

The seconds hand indicates ease of receiving (= number of GPS satellites from which GPS signals are received).
The larger the number of acquired satellites there are, the easier it is to receive GPS signals.

Press Button B
To cancel the reception, press Button B.
The reception result is displayed for 5 seconds.
If reception is successful, the time and date are adjusted.
The settings for the time zone and DST (Daylight Saving Time) are reflected in the time that appears.
