Auto DST (AvtA) can be selected only while LIS, LON, MAD, PAR, ROM, BER, STO, ATH, MOW, TPE, SEL, TYO, HNL, ANC,YVR, LAX, YEA, DEN, MEX, CHI, NYC, YHZ, or YYT is selected as the Home City code. For more information, see “Daylight Saving Time (DST)”.

The day of the week is displayed automatically in accordance with the date (year, month, and day) settings.

12-hour and 24-hour timekeeping

With the 12-hour format, the P (PM) indicator appears to the left of the hour digits for times in the range of noon to 11:59 p.m. and no indicator appears to the left of the hour digits for times in the range of midnight to 11:59 a.m.

With the 24-hour format, times are displayed in the range of 0:00 to 23:59, without any indicator.

The 12-hour/24-hour timekeeping format you select in the Timekeeping Mode is applied in all other modes.

Daylight Saving Time (DST)

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 Mainflingen (Germany), Anthorn (England), or 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 (summer time) automatically in accordance with the signals.

Though 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 2008).

The default DST setting is Auto DST (AvtA) whenever you select LIS, LON, MAD, PAR, ROM, BER, STO, ATH, MOW, TYO, ANC, YVR, LAX,YEA, DEN, MEX, CHI, NYC, YHZ, or YYT as your Home City code.

If you experience problems receiving the time calibration signal in your area, it probably is best to switch between Standard Time and Daylight Saving Time (summer time) manually.
