Signal Reception Precautions
●
When the watch is unable to adjust its time
in accordance with a calibration signal for
some reason, average timekeeping
accuracy is within ±15 seconds per month.
●
Note that an internal decoding process the
watch performs after it receives a signal
may cause the time setting to be slightly off
(by less than one second).
●
Time calibration signal reception is not
possible under the conditions described
below.
ー
While battery power is low
ー
In any mode besides the Calendar Mode
ー
While the watch is at Level 3 power
saving
ー
While the crown is pulled out
ー
While a timer countdown operation is in
progress
ー
While the Home City setting is a time zone
where time signal reception is not
possible
ー
While the watch is outside the time signal
reception range
ー
While the Airplane Mode is enabled
●
When the receive operation is successful,
the time and/or day settings will be adjusted
automatically. Summer time will not be
applied correctly in the case described
below.
ー
When the summer time start date and
time, end date and time, or other rules are
changed by authorities
●
If your watch is connected with a phone,
settings must be configured so G-SHOCK
Connected can acquire location
information. Even if you are in an area that
is within the reception range of a time signal,
reception will not be performed if settings
are configured in a way that makes signal
reception impossible.
●
As of January 2020, China does not
observe summer time. If China starts to
observe summer time in the future, the time
displayed by the watch for China may not be
correct.
Using Watch Operations to
Adjust the Time Setting
If your watch cannot connect with a phone for
some reason, you can use watch operations
to adjust date and time settings.

calibration signal.
