Daylight Saving Time (summer time) advances the time setting by one hour from Standard Time. Remember that not all countries or even local areas use Daylight Saving Time.
The time calibration signals transmitted from Mainß ingen (Germany), Anthorn (England), and Fort Collins (the United States) include both Standard Time and DST data. When the Auto DST setting is turned on, the watch switches between Standard Time and DST (Daylight Saving Time) automatically in accordance with the signals.
ξThough the time calibration signals transmitted by the Fukushima and Fukuoka/Saga, Japan transmitters include summer time data, summer time currently is not implemented in Japan (as of 2010).
