How to Change Timezone on Casio G-Shock Watch

Changing the timezone on a Casio G-Shock watch can be tricky, especially if you don’t have the manual or the model number. In this article, you will learn how to identify your Casio G-Shock model, how to access the timezone setting mode, and how to adjust the timezone according to your location. You will also find some useful tips and FAQs to help you with the process.

Identify Your Casio G-Shock Model

The first step to change the timezone on your Casio G-Shock watch is to identify the model number. This will help you to find the correct instructions and features for your specific watch. The model number is usually engraved on the back of the watch case, or printed on the metal plate under the band. It consists of four digits followed by a letter, such as 3232 DW-9052.

If you can’t find the model number on your watch, you can also use the Casio G-Shock Finder tool on the official website. You can search by category, color, features, or price to narrow down the options and find your watch.

Access the Timezone Setting Mode

Once you have identified your Casio G-Shock model, you can access the timezone setting mode by following these general steps:

1. Press and hold the Adjust button until the digital display flashes. The Adjust button is usually located on the top left corner of the watch, but it may vary depending on the model.
2. Press the Mode button to cycle through the settings until you reach the timezone setting. The Mode button is usually located on the bottom left corner of the watch, but it may vary depending on the model.
3. Press the Search or Receive button to change the timezone. The Search or Receive button is usually located on the top right corner of the watch, but it may vary depending on the model. You can scroll through the list of cities that represent the different timezones, or use the direct input method to enter the code of your desired timezone. The code consists of three letters, such as LON for London or NYC for New York City.
4. Press the Adjust button again to save the setting and exit the mode.

Adjust the Timezone According to Your Location

After you have set the timezone on your Casio G-Shock watch, you may need to adjust it according to your location and daylight saving time. You can do this by following these general steps:

1. Press the Adjust button and then the Mode button to access the daylight saving time (DST) setting.
2. Press the Search or Receive button to toggle the DST on or off. The DST indicator will appear or disappear on the digital display.
3. Press the Adjust button again to save the setting and exit the mode.

Alternatively, you can also use the auto receive function to synchronize your Casio G-Shock watch with the radio signals from the atomic clocks. This will ensure that your watch displays the accurate time and date for your timezone. However, this function may not work in some areas or under certain conditions, such as interference, distance, or weather. You can check the reception level and the last successful reception on your watch display.

To use the auto receive function, you need to place your watch in a stable and open location, away from any metal objects or electronic devices. You can either perform the manual receive by pressing and holding the Search or Receive button for two seconds, or enable the auto receive by pressing and holding the Adjust button for two seconds. The watch will automatically receive the signals up to six times a day, depending on the model.

Tips and FAQs

Here are some tips and FAQs to help you with changing the timezone on your Casio G-Shock watch:

• If you are not sure which city or code represents your timezone, you can refer to the World Time Mode on your watch. You can access this mode by pressing the Mode button until the World Time screen appears. You can then use the Search or Receive button to scroll through the list of cities and codes, and see the corresponding time and date.
• If you travel to a different timezone, you can easily swap the home time and the world time on your watch. You can do this by pressing and holding the Search or Receive button for two seconds in the World Time Mode. The watch will display the swapped time and date, and the Home Time indicator will appear or disappear.
• If you want to reset your Casio G-Shock watch to the factory settings, you can perform the all reset procedure. You can do this by removing the battery from the watch, or by pressing and holding all four buttons simultaneously. This will clear all the settings and data on your watch, and you will need to set them again.
