back again for the 10th time, this vid helps me set my watch which, after setting the time 10 times, I still have trouble remembering how to do it, Thanks guys x10!!!
I’ve been watching this video twice a year for the past 6 years to adjust my watch. It’s just occurred to me that this actually crazy and I should either learn it once for all or buy another brand.
Well after watching 20 of these videos.....John finally got it right. I got my watch set the FIRST TIME !!! And now I am happy. And now I can sit here with my watch keeping the right time.....and be happy. yes...now I am very happy.
Hi Irosh, In order to check a speed you have to input a ‘distance value’ (ie Miles, Kilometres etc) in stopwatch mode. You have to ensure that the stopwatch is set to zero and hold ‘adjust’ for 3 seconds and DIST appears in the bottom right window. Press ‘mode’ to move between options and use ‘reverse’ and ‘forward’ to view the distance value options. When you are happy with your selections ‘Adjust’ exits the menu. Speed is indicated in Stopwatch mode on the upper right dial, the centre dial and the mach window. The 10s are indicated by the speed hand in the centre dial, the 100s are indicated in the upper right hand dial and Mach indicates a 1000 (however mach only kicks in after 1226). The speed check only goes up to 1998 of whatever distance value you have chosen. Hope this is helpful.
This saves my mind. Bought a 2339 a month ago for my 76 y/o brother who is in a nursing home. He asked me for a watch, so ordered one for him. Came with a wrong time. Spent 3 weeks trying to set it without success. Found your UA-cam and set the watch in 5 MINS. THANKS TONS, I'M 78 y/o
Thanks for the help. I started wearing a G-Shock in the 80's when I was a UPS driver, but still have a helluva time adjusting them. The time changed today - It's Sunday morning - so I'm back at it battling with my 2 watches lol. I THINK I've got both of them changed correctly. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that at noon my watch doesn't think it's midnight and switch to Monday!
Thanks, Mate! The simplest & most coherent walk-through I've come across. Thanks to you, I set my G Shock up in 3 minutes. You're a great help. -subbed-
The watch ist perfect in the colours shown in the video. I have one with blue hands and its not easy to read the time in dim light. So take care to get a piece of this watch with yellow or white hands. Than you have a real good watch.
Hello from Carlisle,Thanks very much indeed John,I have a few watches but I don’t wear them as I have this stifling feeling if I wear one;I had a Casio g 100 I bought a year ago there were so many other channels and videos and I was struggling to set this watch and I found your immaculate tutorial and after almost a year this morning I found the watch in an old box and thought to change the settings as it is winter here in UK and I guess this watch travelled with me to Delhi ,India 5 months ago and showing Del as the city again it was so frustrating and I was again having a very rough time going through so many videos of so many obnoxious and vague and lotus eating morons who frustrated me to near death and by some divine intervention again I found you,you have proved that English are the best teachers and time keepers and watch connoisseurs .Thanks finally I don’t have my hair on fire.
Hi Leatile Mr T, City code relevant to South Africa is CAI (Cairo), JRS (Jerusalem) or ATH (Athens) which are all UTC+2. H-Set is used for home position corrections. It is a function used for resetting the hands if they lose synch, which can happen if the unit is subjected to strong magnetism or a forceful impact. In Timekeeping mode you need to press and hold ‘Forward’ until H-Set appears on the bottom right dial. The speed hand on the centre dial needs to be pointed at 50, when it is press ‘Mode’. The main hands should both be pointing at 12 if they are not use ‘Reverse’ and ‘Forward’ to guide them into position. Press ‘Adjust’ when you are happy that everything is in position. Thanks
Hi, most of Arizona doesn't observe daylight savings rules for the Mountain time zone so I think you would require 'DEN' for Denver in the Summer and 'LAX' for Los Angeles in the winter. Any problems then don't hesitate to let us know!
Thanks for the video. I am in Berlin zone, but when I ser BER it moved the hands to six hours behind. So I changed it to NYC time and now it’s fine, LOL !
Hi Ike Angelo, I would check that the Daylight Savings Time is turned on. The hands should automatically move to the correct setting for the home city selected. If you are 1 hour out this is often the issue particularly at this time of year. Hope this rectifies your problem. Thanks,
Hi Carlos, If you were using a timezone which was 1 hour out it could be affected by the DST setting. As you are having to select a time zone that is 2 hours out I would suggest that your watch isn’t picking up the radio signal properly. It could be an issue if you are using a European model in the U.S especially if it isn’t a multi-region Casio. I would suggest if it is causing you problems to contact Casio and clarify the issue. Thanks and hope this is of help to you.
Great instructional video! I just my G-Shock in the sand color yesterday, and your easy to understand video helped out more than the little complicated manual that came with the watch! Thanks! :)
One thing to add: how to switch from digital time to digital date readout: just hit the "forward" button straightaway, and it switches from one to the other.
I cant tell you how many times I have used this video for the Daylight savings lol. So easy to do but I always forget when you only need to do it twice a year
@Thebaysfinest After setting the correct city you can then adjust the digital time to the exact correct time and the analog hands will adjust to the correct time. Mine was about 5 min off until I adjusted the digital time setting then it corrected itself.
Great video and I'm sure I've used this video before bc of your kick ass accent. But when changing my Daylight savings time I pull it up just fine and it blinks Off yet I can't get it to toggle on? And those buttons work I know because I can use the back light. So what would be my unique problem? The only thing I can guess is maybe I need a new battery?
Can you explain how to adjust the brightness settings. I just bought this watch for my Dad however it is difficult to see the numbers even after you press the reverse button for the illumination
Just hold mode till it blinks. Then click adjust. Then you use the reset and start button to switch up and down between your choices and click mode as a continue button to next setting.
As someone who only buys straight analogue watches (usually from Seiko and Citizen). Wow. I've got one on the way. Now, being that I travel a lot from Adelaide (no problem - ADL) to Tucson (BIG PROBLEM) I'll need to do this quite often. However, Tucson uses Mountain Standard Time (as does Phoenix) and there appear to be no settings for either of these. What would be best?
got the blue version of this in the mail a few days ago and im sending it back today,,, its simply so dark that you annot tell time unless theres alot of light in the room, and even in total darkness while pressing the light in the clock, i cant see the time,,,
It's to be sold on, hence the protection from any dirt, scratches or scuffs. You wouldn't want to receive a watch with someone else's greasy fingerprints on it would you?
If you hold te light button for a short time. A littel bar wil appear in your up left side. Now everytime you turn youre wrist the light wil auto jump on. 🤗😉
+Ryan Banks i just got 1 for my birthday and yeah its fucking confusing as shit... and the handles point to the wrong time. im having a extremely hard time trying to adjust the watches time correctly
***** yep. I love my G-Shock but it's a pain in the arse. I might buy two and keep one on winter time and one summer time so I don't have to change them lol
Ryan Banks yeah its a pain in the ass but i finally figured it out.. in order for your handles to change to the correct time you first must have the correct city time.. in order to change this hold MODE until it beeps and the bottom right box starts flashing with the city. go through the leaflet and find a city thats within your time zone. for example im LON (london) and once selected you should see it displayed the correct time on the left box *look at other phones to see if its the correct time* after that i think you press mode again and the watches handles will adjust to the correct time! hope this helps
can you help me to how set the time of my gshock analog or hand? please... here's my gshock model bga-131 color white that had heart on it.. i see some of gshock like mine but they dont show how to set a time both in digital and analog... thank you so much!!! :)
The time goes by mountain time check your phone and what time zone its set to put it since i live in abq i have to set it to denvers time zone hope it helped
back again for the 10th time, this vid helps me set my watch which, after setting the time 10 times, I still have trouble remembering how to do it, Thanks guys x10!!!

Love it how he's wearing white gloves, shows real professionalism.
Sam Field naw his just wearing those for protection if u know wat i mean (wink wink)
I’ve been watching this video twice a year for the past 6 years to adjust my watch. It’s just occurred to me that this actually crazy and I should either learn it once for all or buy another brand.
I've been doing the same thought it was just me🤣
Lol same
I noticed you posted this 8 years ago...The information was simple and straight to the point!! Thanks Mate!! God Bless
Well after watching 20 of these videos.....John finally got it right. I got my watch set the FIRST TIME !!! And now I am happy. And now I can sit here with my watch keeping the right time.....and be happy. yes...now I am very happy.
I wear a Gear 3 Frontier these days,but still love this watch in 2020 and come here every year!

This happened to me today, with the time change. 😂
I have watched this video every 6 months on DST for years now! Thank you again
It’s 12:30 in the morning and I’m watching this. I don’t even own a G-shock.
it’s been 2 years .
do you own one now?
12:30 is not morning lol
Thanks, Mate! The simplest & most coherent walk-through I've come across. Thanks to you, I set my G Shock up in 3 minutes. You're a great help. -subbed-
stop lying
my watch was an hour ahead on the correct timezone setting and i had no idea why until you mentioned daylight savings mode, thanks man
The watch ist perfect in the colours shown in the video. I have one with blue hands and its not easy to read the time in dim light. So take care to get a piece of this watch with yellow or white hands. Than you have a real good watch.
Thank you so much! I'm going to favorite this video and watch it again because my GA-100-1A1ER is currently being shipped. Thanks again!!!

The Watch Hut How do I set it so that the date is permanently displayed in the left window?

That is a badass looking piece. I've just bought a 4778 as a beater watch.
; very cool for a backup.
thank you very much, I am travelling overseas and had no idea how to adjust this model, your guide is very useful. thank you again, good job.
What if your city or areas are not log in the watch.
Best step by step video ever!!! Thank you 🙏🏼

Thanks for the video. I am in Berlin zone, but when I ser BER it moved the hands to six hours behind. So I changed it to NYC time and now it’s fine, LOL !
yes yes bigman. you do not have a clue how helpful this video is. bigup the g-shock doctor. respectt
Hi Ali, Copenhagen is GMT+1 so PAR,ROM and BER (Paris, Rome and Berlin) are all ok for you to use as your time zone selection

Thank you, I had a problem on adjusting my G-Shock after its battery exhausted and changed a new battery. This is very useful.
Your video made loads more sense than the damn manual. Thank you
I thank you twice a year! You’d think I’d memorize this, but nope! I have you saved in my list! 🙏
Same! I watch this exact video twice a year! 😹
DST = Daylight Saving Time
Thanks
Thank you, I understood nothing...
Ivan Georgiev lol
Ivan Georgiev and I thought I was the stupidest person in the world
Noob
Hahaha
Did you try watching the video ass hat
Hi Ike Angelo, I would check that the Daylight Savings Time is turned on. The hands should automatically move to the correct setting for the home city selected. If you are 1 hour out this is often the issue particularly at this time of year. Hope this rectifies your problem. Thanks,
Thanks dude! I tried a few different sources to get mine back in shape and finally all good!
Hi Carlos, If you were using a timezone which was 1 hour out it could be affected by the DST setting. As you are having to select a time zone that is 2 hours out I would suggest that your watch isn’t picking up the radio signal properly.

Great instructional video! I just my G-Shock in the sand color yesterday, and your easy to understand video helped out more than the little complicated manual that came with the watch! Thanks! :)
I still can't get the arms to match te digital time please help.
You are a life saver i have a gshock and dont know How to change the time
Thanks got it right away but my buttons were labbeled H-SET, ADJUST, LIGHT AND MODE but it was still very easy
One thing to add: how to switch from digital time to digital date readout: just hit the "forward" button straightaway, and it switches from one to the other.
thanks
I cant tell you how many times I have used this video for the Daylight savings lol. So easy to do but I always forget when you only need to do it twice a year
I just wanna get the day correct….
Thanks...I've been trying to set my watch ,for a long time. Great info.
Thanks for helping me with the day light savings adjustment.I was going crazy reading the book it came with!
thank you for uploading this video it sure helped me! I had the DST off when I changed it to on the time got fixed!
Thanks John you just saved me time in trying to figure it out
Still watch this video TWICE a year. 3 million views???!!!! That's awesome.
@Thebaysfinest
After setting the correct city you can then adjust the digital time to the exact correct time and the analog hands will adjust to the correct time. Mine was about 5 min off until I adjusted the digital time setting then it corrected itself.
how is this performed?
Awesome!!
A million thanks my friend. From California
cheers for the video mate. look forward to buying some more g-shocks to add to my collection. thank you
Exactly what I needed, I actually got the exact model.
OMG thank you so much because I got a new G-shock watch and I didn't know how to set it
I've been coming back to this video for five years
Bro I needed this my g-shock came with TWO sets of Spanish directions 😂
I have a GREAT shock first time setting it. the digital portion reads correct but the arm for hours won't move
Would be great if you press the light button the digital part lights up to because i find it hard to tell the time in the dark!
Great video! Helped me a lot!
Brilliant video thank you 💚🇮🇪
Holy crap that was soooooo easy. You blessed it. Thank you.
Thats a killer g shock man, those white hits are something elsr
I'm picturing a little Chinese G-Shock guru watch maker laughing his ass off as these watches get shipped out to us ignorant round eye bastards!
Yeah you got to watch out for those
Great explanation HUGE THANK YOU!!
Cheers for this video mate, I always used to struggle with time zones and dst.
Hi Declan, you can select 'MAD' for Madrid which is the same time zone. Hope this is of use to you
Thanks this video was very helpful
Great video and I'm sure I've used this video before bc of your kick ass accent. But when changing my Daylight savings time I pull it up just fine and it blinks Off yet I can't get it to toggle on?

I watch this video twice a year.... cant be the only one 😂
Good Watch and a good video thank you gentlemaen
i just purchased this.I hope it fulfills my expectations
Thank you Sir! Awesome
Thanks for this nice and easily understood video
Really useful video, thank you
Sweet, Thanks! the daylight savings was throwing off my time
Just hold mode till it blinks. Then click adjust. Then you use the reset and start button to switch up and down between your choices and click mode as a continue button to next setting.
Thanks man helped out a lot
Can you set a different time on the analogue and digital clocks- like GMT on analogue and my country’s local time on the digital clock?
Thank you! big help.. couldn't figure out how to change to daylight savings time!
Yay my watch works now... I lost booklet and could not figure out how to set time!
Thanks mate it really helped
As someone who only buys straight analogue watches (usually from Seiko and Citizen). Wow.
I've got one on the way.
Now, being that I travel a lot from Adelaide (no problem - ADL) to Tucson (BIG PROBLEM) I'll need to do this quite often.

I love watches too buddy but you're handling a mass produced (but still awesome) piece! relax! No need for gloves!
It's to be sold on, hence the protection from any dirt, scratches or scuffs. You wouldn't want to receive a watch with someone else's greasy fingerprints on it would you?
That was a simple and precise video. Cheers
Thank you had to watch 3 videos before I could turn off DST!
If you hold te light button for a short time. A littel bar wil appear in your up left side. Now everytime you turn youre wrist the light wil auto jump on. 🤗😉
I'm getting really fucked off with how complicated G's are
+Ryan Banks i just got 1 for my birthday and yeah its fucking confusing as shit... and the handles point to the wrong time. im having a extremely hard time trying to adjust the watches time correctly

Thank you & God bless you
Thanks Buddy.....good, clear explanation - much appreciated!

Hi Rae, Alberta observes North American Mountain Time which is 'DEN' for Denver.
