Swapping your Home City and World Time City
You can use the procedure below to swap your Home City and World Time City. This capability can come in
handy when you frequently travel between two locations in different time zones.

Home City originally is TYO (Tokyo) and the World Time City is NYC (New York).

Auto Correction of Hand Home Positions

Strong magnetism or impact can cause the hands and/or day setting to be off, even if the watch is able
to perform the signal receive operation. Auto correction of hand home positions correct the hand position
automatically.
Auto correction is performed in the Timekeeping Mode only.
Auto correction corrects the positions of the
dial hands and day, you must perform the manual adjustment procedure under "Adjusting Home Positions
Manually".
Each hour, the watch performs automatic correction of the hand positions from –55 minutes to +5 minutes.
You also can trigger auto correction of hand home positions manually, if you want. See "To trigger auto
correction of hand home positions" for more information.
Auto correction of hand home positions can take up to three and a half minutes to complete.
If hand positions are off by one hour or more, correct them using the procedure under "To trigger auto
correction of hand home positions" or "Adjusting Home Positions Manually".
To trigger auto correction of hand home positions
Perform the following procedure when the time setting is off.
In the Timekeeping Mode, hold down D for about six seconds until the x Second

adjustment mode, which is described under "Adjusting Home Positions
Manually". If this happens, press A to return to the Timekeeping Mode and then
perform the above operation again.
Manually triggered auto correction of hand home positions performs the following
two steps.
1.
The hands will move automatically in order to determine the home positions of
the watch.
2.
After the hand home positions are determined, the watch will return to normal
timekeeping automatically. This completes the correction operation.

Adjusting Home Positions Manually

Strong magnetism or impact can cause the hands and/or date of the watch to be off, even if the watch is able
to perform the signal receive operation. If this happens, perform the applicable home position adjustment
procedures in this section.
Hand home position adjustment is not required if the time and day settings are correct.
You also can use auto correction of the hand home positions to correct the home positions of the
Hand, c Minute Hand, and x Second Hand.
Note
Any time after you enter the home position adjustment mode in step 1 of the following procedure, you
can return to the Timekeeping Mode by pressing A. The watch also will return to the Timekeeping Mode
automatically if you do not perform any operation for about two or three minutes in the home position
adjustment mode. In either case, any adjustments you made before the watch returned to the Timekeeping
Mode will be applied.
