I keep coming back every time change for the last 4 years , a gift that keeps on giving

[@bertieblackdog6757]

You are one of the greatest people ever to have lived for doing this video. You have also saved my gshock from being thrown out the window. I'm about 6,000 miles away from my instruction manual.

[@cjyu2]

every year day light savings I have to come back to this video lmao

[@plisskennn]

For daylight saving change : Hold button A for 3 seconds. Then press C. Then press D. Then press A. And that's it.

I watch this video twice a year. You don't know how much I appreciate it! Lol

[@Sean-gj3ef]

Great video! A 6 year old video just saved my immense frustration cycling through the modes etc and failing! Thanks 👍🙌

[@gdouglas57]

You are a legend. I can't believed it took me 100s of searches to get to your excellent demonstration.

[@lottobeer11]

Thank you for making that a short video. You made it simple and to the point. I hate watching a ten minute video on how to do something that only takes 30 seconds

[@TruthFLA]

Never take this video down. I would be lost

[@David-yk4td]

Short, and to the damn point! Love it

[@robertlarsonlaw]

Finally set my watch after having say the hand time was 3 hours and 14 minutes different from the actual time! Thank you, thank you, thank you!

[@SnakeHips]

This is my go to video twice a year, I NEVER remember

[@yardmandave4791]

I have the identical to the one here and your illustration is perfect, now everything on my new G-SHOCK is spot on. Thanks you sooo sooo much for this video.

[@biglou1315]

thanks man. I'm a 43 year old dufus, when it comes to these things. appreciate your assistance.

[@_ace86]

I’ve had this watch since the 6th grade and I’m in highschool now. I’ve never knew how to sync up the time correctly til now. Thank you. I subbed.

[@Tozzywozzy01]

My dad screwed up the time on his watch and I couldn't for the life of me remember how I set it before as the guide was of no use to me. Your video has fixed it. thanks!

[@Kryptic87]

Thanks for the video, that manual was about to make my head explode.

[@samfisher2306]

Got mine 3 days ago. My dog ate the manual right away when I went to the fridge. You saved me after 28 hours of trial and error 😆

[@angelocomic77]

This video actually helped! I have a SEVERE learning disability and I was able to follow this

[@shishir276282]

After using this watch for couples of years today only I learnt to set the parameters of watch from your vedio😆😆

[@PawnMan]

SO much better than the other video I tried to watch. Thanks!

[@openmindedtruth]

hold forward until beep, press and hold mode until hands get to 12 oclock, ( you can press forward or reverse for the hand direction... when you get to 12:00 position..press "adjust", and it will automatically sync with the digital time readout. your welcome : )

[@romannieuwkerk7462]

+motionless1 Thanks, I was wondering why my digital time and analog time weren't matching. I spent most of my day trying to set my new watch.

Thank you very much to explain how to change time and date on G shock watch i was struggling to set time and date, your video helped me too much.

[@cayrick]

Wonderful, you set the digital time to 5:21 but the analog time shows 6:47. Maybe you want to go into fixing this. In the end it is the old addage "RTFM"

[@andrecordova8166]

This happens to me also… I can’t get the analog and digital to be the same
