World Time

zones) around the world.
•
For full information on city codes, see the “City Code
Table”.
•
The current time for all city codes in the World Time
Mode is calculated in accordance with the Greenwich
Mean Time (GMT) differential for each city, based on the
your Home City time setting.
•
All of the operations in this section are performed in the
World Time Mode, which you enter by pressing

Note that the DST/Standard Time setting affects only the
currently displayed city code. Other city codes are not

Daylight Saving Time (DST) advances the time setting
by one hour from Standard Time. Remember that the
not all countries or even local areas use Daylight Saving
Time.

Note that you cannot use the World Time Mode to
change the DST ON/OFF setting of the Home City code
you currently have selected in the Timekeeping Mode.

The watch will perform a signal receive operation even if
it is in the World Time Mode when a calibration time is
reached. If this happens, the World Time Mode time
settings will be adjusted in accordance with the
Timekeeping Mode’s Home City code time.

The Alarm Mode gives you a choice of four one-time
alarms and one snooze alarm. You can select either an
audible beeper or flashing silent alert to let you know
when any of the alarm times is reached.
