Checking the Current Time in a Different Time Zone

You can use the World Time Mode to view the current time in one of 31 time zones (48 cities) around the 
globe. The city that is currently selected in the World Time Mode is called the “World Time City”.

To enter the World Time Mode

Use

D

 to select the World Time Mode (

WT

) as shown in “Selecting a 

Mode”.

About one second after 

WT

 appears on the display, the display will 

change to show the city code of the currently selected World Time City.

 The two pointers described below are on the display in the World Time 

Mode.
Pointer 1 (not fl ashing): Indicates the current time in the currently 
selected World Time City in 24-hour format.
Pointer 2 (fl ashing): Indicates the current Timekeeping Mode time in 
24-hour format.

To view the time in another time zone

In the World Time Mode, use 

A

 (East) and 

C

 (West) to scroll through city codes.

To specify standard time or daylight saving time (DST) for a city

1. In the World Time Mode, use 

A

 (East) and 

C

 (West) to display the 

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

2. Hold down 

E

 until 

DST Hold

 appears on the display and then 

disappears. Release 

E

 after 

DST Hold

 disappears.

 This toggles the city code you selected in step 1 between Daylight 

Saving Time (

DST

 indicator displayed) and standard time (

DST

indicator not displayed).

 Using the World Time Mode to change the DST setting of the 

city code that is selected as your Home City also will change the 
Timekeeping Mode time DST setting.

 Note that you cannot switch between standard time/daylight 

saving time (DST) while 

UTC

 is selected as the World Time City.

 Note that the standard time/daylight saving time (DST) setting 

affects only the currently selected time zone. Other time zones are 
not affected.

Using the Stopwatch

The stopwatch measures elapsed time, split times, and two fi nishes.

To enter the Stopwatch Mode

Use
