How Do I Set My White G Shock Watch?

Published in Watch Settings 2 mins read

The exact steps to set your white G Shock watch depend on the specific model you have, but here's a general guide based on common G Shock features and how to access daylight saving time settings:

General Steps for Setting Most G-Shock Watches:

  1. Identify the Buttons: G-Shock watches usually have four buttons:

    • Adjust (Top Left): Often used to enter and exit setting mode.
    • Reverse (Top Right): Used to scroll backward or decrease values.
    • Mode (Bottom Left): Used to cycle through different modes (timekeeping, alarm, stopwatch, etc.).
    • Forward (Bottom Right): Used to scroll forward or increase values.
  2. Enter Setting Mode: Press and hold the "Adjust" button (top left) until the display starts flashing. This usually indicates you've entered the setting mode.

  3. Cycle Through Settings: Use the "Mode" button (bottom left) to cycle through the settings you want to adjust. Common settings include:

    • Seconds
    • Minutes
    • Hours
    • Year
    • Month
    • Day
    • 12/24-hour format
    • Daylight Saving Time (DST)
  4. Adjust the Value: Once you've selected the setting you want to change, use the "Forward" (bottom right) and "Reverse" (top right) buttons to increase or decrease the value.

  5. Confirm and Exit: After setting all the desired values, press the "Adjust" button (top left) again to save the settings and exit setting mode.

Setting Daylight Saving Time (DST):

Many G-Shock watches have a DST setting. Here’s how to typically access it:

  1. Enter Timekeeping Mode: Press the "Mode" button until you are in the regular time display.

  2. Access DST Setting: Enter the setting mode (hold the "Adjust" button). Cycle through the settings using the "Mode" button until you see the DST setting. It might be labeled "DST" or "Daylight Saving."

  3. Toggle DST On/Off: Use the "Forward" or "Reverse" button to toggle between "DST ON" and "DST OFF." The reference text indicates the "Reverse" button toggles between these settings.

  4. Save and Exit: Press the "Adjust" button to save the setting and exit the setting mode.

Important Considerations:

  • Model-Specific Instructions: The above instructions are general. For precise instructions, consult the user manual that came with your specific white G-Shock model. You can often find the manual online by searching for your watch's model number and "user manual."
  • Button Labels: While the button functions are generally the same, button labels can vary slightly depending on the model.
