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 signal transmitted by the Fukushima and
Fukuoka/Saga, Japan transmitters include summer time data, summer time
currently is not implemented in Japan (as of 2007).
• The default DST setting is Auto DST (
PAR , BER , ATH , NYC , CHI
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.
To change the Daylight Saving Time (summer time) setting
1. In the Timekeeping Mode, hold down E until

Reference
This section contains more detailed and technical information about watch
operation. It also contains important precautions and notes about the various
features and functions of this watch.
Moon Phases and Moon Age
The Moon goes through a regular 29.53-day cycle. During each cycle, the
Moon appears to wax and wane as the relative positioning of the Earth,
Moon, and Sun changes. The greater the angular distance between the Moon
and the Sun,* the more we see illuminated.
* The angle to the Moon in relation to the direction at which the Sun is visible
from the Earth.
This watch performs a rough calculation of the current Moon age starting
from day 0 of the moon age cycle. Since this watch performs calculations
using integer values only (no fractions), the margin for error of the displayed
Moon age is ± 1 day.
