Have you become a lucky owner of G-SHOCK? Are you afraid of the "technical stuff"? Don’t you know how to set the time on your watch when the battery is dead? Do you have problems with changing the daylight saving time to standard time? Whatever the reason, read our article to find out how to solve your problem. You will see that it’s not as troublesome as it may seem.

Before we explain how to set the time on Casio G-SHOCK, let’s talk about the brand and its enduring popularity. Everything started thanks to Kikuo Ibe, a Casio engineer, who wanted to create an indestructible watch that could survive a fall of 10 metres. In 1983, he presented his project, on which he had been working with his team for 2 years. Watches passed the test. Thanks to their high quality, shock resistance and good marketing, the watches have become a sales hit.

All information on how to use your G-SHOCK can be found in the manual supplied with each model. However, if you don’t want to go through the long descriptions, we provide you with a shortened version of the manual, with which you should solve your problem. Firstly, press the "adjust" button and hold it for a few seconds until you hear the beep or see the blinking message on the display. This information usually refers to the time zone, as it is the first editing option in Casio G-SHOCK models. Use the upper and lower buttons to toggle through the zones. To confirm your choice of the time zone, press the “mode” button placed on the left side. Then, you will see the blinking message that relates to the daylight saving time. You can turn it on (ON) or turn it off (OFF). Press the “mode” button again to save the changes. Then, you can convert time into the 12-hour format or 24-hour format, set the time and date (from 2000 to 2099). Once you are done, press the “adjust” button. That’s it!

It may sometimes happen that the analogue clock differentiates from the digital one. How to set the digital clock? It’s very easy. When the device displays the day of the week (timekeeping mode), press and hold the “adjust” button until you see “H.SET”. Your digital dial begins to blink. You can start setting the time. Whenever you enter a setting mode, the analogue hands will automatically move to the 12 o’clock position that allows easier viewing of the digital dial. You can manually adjust the hour by using the buttons on the right side of the case. Save the changes by the “mode” button. Minutes and seconds are adjusted exactly the same. Save the settings by “adjust” button.

We hope that our article will help you to set the time on your Casio G-SHOCK watches. As you can see, it’s fast and easy to do. Need help? Feel free to contact us online through chat.
