Configuring City and Summer Time
Settings

Use the procedure in this section to select a
city to use as your Home City. If you are in an
area that observes summer time, you can also
enable or disable summer time.

Summer Time

Summer time, which is also known as Daylight
Saving Time (DST), advances the time setting
one hour, 30 minutes, or some other amount
of time from standard time (STD) during the
summer months. Whether or not and how
summer time is used depends on your country
or local area. Summer time is not used in some
countries and local areas.

World Time

Your watch lets you select from among city
codes for 29 cities around the globe, plus UTC
(Universal Coordinated Time). Selecting a city
code causes the watch’s time setting to
change automatically to indicate the current
time in that zone.

Note

The initial factory default summer time
setting for all cities (time zones) is “AT
(AUTO)”.

If you are using the watch in a location
that is not among the built-in cities, use
the built-in city that is in the same time
zone as your location. For available
city settings, see “

City (Time Zone)
