Daylight Saving Time (DST)
Daylight Saving Time (summer time) advances the time setting by one hour from
Standard Time. Remember that not all countries or even local areas use Daylight
Saving Time.
The time calibration signals include both Standard Time and DST data. When the auto
DST setting is turned on, the watch switches between Standard Time and DST
(summer time) automatically in accordance with the signal it receives.

The auto DST setting can be turned on only while
+0.0
,
+1.0
or
+2.0
is selected as

If you experience problems receiving the time calibration signal in your area, it is

time) manually.
