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