Moon data is wrong for some reason, check the
current Timekeeping Mode settings (time, date, and
Home Site), and correct them if required.

Home Site Data
Moon phase, the fishing level indicator, and Fishing/Moon Mode data will not
be displayed properly unless Home Site data (UTC differential and longitude) is
configured correctly.
x
The UTC differential is a value that indicates the time difference between
a reference point in Greenwich, England and the time zone where a city is
located.
x
The letters “UTC” is the abbreviation for “Coordinated Universal Time”,
which is the world-wide scientific standard of timekeeping. It is based upon
carefully maintained atomic (cesium) clocks that keep time accurately to within
microseconds. Leap seconds are added or subtracted as necessary to keep
UTC in sync with the Earth’s rotation.
x
The “Site Data List” at the back of this manual provides UTC differential,
latitude, and longitude information around the world.
x
The following is the initial factory default Home Site data (Tokyo, Japan) when
you first purchase the watch, and whenever you have the battery replaced.
Change these settings to match the area where you normally use the watch.
