How to set time zone on Casio G-Shock Watch?

Problem

One of the features of the G-Shock watch is the ability to display the time in different time zones around the world. This is useful for travelers, business people, or anyone who needs to keep track of the time in different locations. However, setting the time zone on your G-Shock watch can be tricky if you don’t know how to do it properly. In this article, we will show you how to set the time zone on your Casio G-Shock watch in a few simple steps.

Solution 1: Set the Time Zone on G-Shock Watch

The process to set the time zone on your G-Shock watch may vary depending on the model and the module number of your watch. The module number is a four-digit or three-digit number that is engraved on the back of your watch. 

You can find the module number and the corresponding instruction manual for your watch on the official Casio website. However, most G-Shock watches have a similar way to set the time zone, which involves the following steps:

1. Press and hold the Adjust button until the display flashes. The Adjust button is usually located at the top left corner of the watch.
2. Press the Mode button until the time zone indicator appears on the display. The Mode button is usually located at the bottom left corner of the watch.
3. Press the Search button to scroll through the available time zones. The Search button is usually located at the bottom right corner of the watch.
4. You can also press the Reverse button to scroll in the opposite direction. The Reverse button is usually located at the top right corner of the watch.
5. Select the time zone that matches your location or the location you want to display. You can refer to the list of time zones and their corresponding city codes on the instruction manual or on the official Casio website.
6. Press the Adjust button again to save the setting and exit the adjustment mode.

Solution 2: Set the DST (Daylight Saving Time) on or off on G-Shock Watch

Some regions may use DST (Daylight Saving Time) to adjust their clocks forward or backward by one hour during certain periods of the year. This is done to make better use of the daylight and save energy. If you live in or travel to a region that uses DST, you may need to set the DST on or off on your G-Shock watch to display the correct time. To do this, follow these steps:

1. Press and hold the Adjust button until the display flashes. The Adjust button is usually located at the top left corner of the watch.
2. Press the Mode button until the DST indicator appears on the display. The Mode button is usually located at the bottom left corner of the watch.
3. Press the Search button to toggle the DST on or off. The Search button is usually located at the bottom right corner of the watch.
4. Press the Adjust button again to save the setting and exit the adjustment mode.

How do I switch between the home time and the world time on my G-Shock watch?

The timekeeping mode is the default mode of the watch that shows the current time and date.

How do I set the daylight saving time (DST) on my G-Shock watch?
