when i click the button adjust once after setting the sub and also the analog why its not working? it makes the analog and day different, please advise

Did you set the sub and analog hands to the current day and time? If so, then that's why. Follow the steps to align the sub and analog to zero.

I'm still incredibly confused. It's Monday. The thing skips from Sunday to Wednesday. The more I try to correct it, the more wrong it becomes.

Try again the hands alignment, and set to "zero" position as in the video for the day subdial and also the hour and minute hands :)

How to change day

The watch calculate the day based on date/month/year. You'll need to do the hands alignment correctly, and then set the complete date too :)

Try press and hold longer. If it still doesn't work, try to check with the seller/dealer :)

[@adarshkumarsingh6081]

Well the time zone is changing directly while pressing the start button but only the set option is not showing

[@adarshkumarsingh6081]

Is there a way to reset the watch

[@SamsWatchReview]

I'm not sure if this is the one you need, but there's a feature on the module of Casio digital watches that is named AC Reset, which is usually done after changing battery.

[@SamsWatchReview]

Sounds like the watch is in the "world time" mode. Press the mode button several times until it enters the timekeeping mode, then start the adjustment steps.

Great video, I almost spend 2hrs adjusting and was so frustrated. Then saw this video. Thanks alot

[@kazzasfightingjournal8924]

When I use the function that let's you move the hands away from the digital display either manually (Light + Mode) or while in the "Adjust" menu, the minute hand, while moving, shakes or vibrates amd makes an unnoticeable sound while it's moving. It doesn't tend to be all that noticeable while it's moving away, which tends to make it move faster. It's most noticeable while reverting into the position where it tells the time, which is when it moves more slowly. So it doesn't feel like it's sweeping smoothly, but kind of shaking/vibrating fast as it moves to or back into position. So, does anyone know if this is a normal thing on G-Shocks, or is it a potential fault with my watch that can cause damage?

[@SamsWatchReview]

I can't give a definitive answer for all G-Shock Anadigi models, but both my GA2100 and GA700 exhibit the same behavior. The minute hand appears slightly wobbly when moving counterclockwise. This may be an intentional design choice by Casio to slow down the backward movement, possibly to prevent gear damage. As a point of comparison, for analog watches with a date window, and especially mechanical/automatic ones, it is advisable not to adjust the hands counterclockwise. Some experts even prohibit this practice.

[@anaalvarez7421]

My light won’t turn on how can I fix it??

Sounds like the battery is out. Try to change it, if that doesn't work, contact the dealer to check/repair:)

Thank you for this , not sure if my watch is broken but I cannot get the digital time and the hands to align at all Have tried and tried I can only guess the watch is faulty , what do you do if your starting position is in incorrect t time on both ?

[@SamsWatchReview]

Hi, hopefully I guess this right :) Try to do the hands alignment step again, adjust the hands so they are pointing at the zero position (00:00)

[@Yerrrrrrrr_Mom]

When I hit the adjust button after setting the correct time it moves to a different time 🤦🏻‍♂️

[@SamsWatchReview]

Hi. Did you align the hands to the correct time, or to 00:00 ? For this watch, it should be aligned to 00:00 :)

[@Yerrrrrrrr_Mom]

I just figured it out. You have set the date exactly to Sunday and the time exactly to 12 and then hit adjust. It automatically changed to correct time for whatever time zone you're in 👍🏽

Hey, how can you set the day of the week? I don't know how it works. On my watch, the day of the week hand doesn't point to any day. Is there a process for setting this or does the day of the week hand set itself after a certain time?

[@SamsWatchReview]

Try to follow the hand alignment step, and during the alignment, set the dial to point Sunday. After that, when the watch returns to timekeeping mode, it should point to the correct day.
