This watch is preset with a number of city codes, each of which represents the time zone where that city is located. When setting the time, it is important that you first select the correct city code for your Home City (the city where you normally use the watch). If your location is not included in the preset city codes, select the preset city code that is in the same time zone as your location.

•Note that all of the times for the World Time Mode city codes (page E-23) are displayed in accordance with the time and date settings you configure in the Timekeeping Mode.
