World Time

World Time shows the current time in 30 cities (29 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

While in the World Time Mode, press

 to scroll through the city codes (time zones)

to the east or

 to scroll to the west.

If the current time shown for a city is wrong, check your Timekeeping Mode time and
Home City settings and make the necessary changes.

To toggle a city code time between standard time and Daylight Saving Time

1. In the World Time Mode, use

city code (time zone) whose standard time/Daylight
Saving Time setting you want to change.

2. Press

 to toggle Daylight Saving Time (

DST

displayed) and standard time (

DST

 not displayed).

The 

DST

 indicator is on the display whenever you

display a city code for which Daylight Saving Time is
turned on.

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

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.

Alarms

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.
You can also input reminder text that appears when the
alarm time is reached.
Also use the Alarm Mode to turn the Hourly Time Signal
on and off.
