Used again in April 2024 to set DST. Thank you for keeping this video up.

[@pastilance1]

Dude, twice a year I'm here to watch your tutorial! Thank you so much!

[@SashimiMonster]

Everytime DST comes in. . . I'm here. Thank you so much.

[@ameerkamil59]

I watch this video every year to setup my g shock.don't delete it. thank you

[@BikeKayaker]

Me too. Every time the DST changes to EST I watch it. Invaluable video!

[@freund333]

Isn't this a radio controlled watch? Shouldn't it set it self automatically?

[@NikosPer]

haha yes its radio controlled , but only for micro adjustments in ''real'' time not on DST/EST and only in specific countries

[@adamgogolewski9087]

So do i :)

[@lib3rat3]

@@freund333 there were two models released on with the other without

[@motogoriamarkuskinyua19]

9 years later, still extremely useful. Thanks.!!!.

[@Asphaltsquadron]

Make that 10 years later. I bought an Apple watch 3 years ago and my G-Shock was in a drawer that entire time. I brought it back out 2 days ago and let it charge in the indirect sun on the patio. Then needed to come here because I couldn't remember how to set it. Haha, works like the champ still! On a side note, I've said it before.....I don't know if it's still there, but I used to go into Valencia Time Center frequently as I grew up in Valencia L O N G before there was ever a mall there.

[@RockApeDesigns]

Still valuable and helpful in July 2023

[@martinlin937]

Watched it again in June 19th 2024, thanks for helping again!!

[@jonienglish3231]

2022 still helping me , i messed up the DST and had to go through motions Again , Very Good Video

[@williamsrensen8618]

2024 AND STILL USING THIS VIDEO 😀

[@kylereese1898]

Since I've bought my Casio G-Shock watch (5 years ago) and every 6 months ever since I search for this video to adjust my Casio watch)))

[@kylereese1898]

One time more))))

[@X1XX15]

Thanks every year you save my life

[@misterarthur]

This is invaluable. The owner's manual is virtually incomprehensible. Thank you so much for posting this.

[@ValenciaTimeCenter]

Yes. Make sure you are near a window or outside. Many things can affect the signal reception. Make sure your watch is in the Timekeeping Mode. Hold down the top left button (adjust) for about 2 seconds. The second hand will move around to Y or N, and finally R. R means it is ready to receive. You will know whether or not it was received successfully when the second hand moves to either Y or N for about 5 seconds. Hope this helps. For more info Casio.com has detailed setting instructions

[@user-nm8bh8jq9i]

Found my long lost watch without the manual. Thank you for this!

[@ValenciaTimeCenter]

Absolutely. There are however situations where a watch may not receive a signal and it is for those people that I wanted to show the manual setting without having to read the sometimes difficult instruction manual.

[@mozartk314]

2021 and still helping me, huge thanks!

[@chriscecchetto7898]

This watch is so confusing, but I still love it. Your video makes setting my watch (when it loses power from sitting in the dark from not using) very easy. Thanks for this!

[@MissFirestar]

Thank you so so much. Don't ever delete this video, my watch will be useless. Keep up the good work

[@pastilance1]

I feel like I need a masters degree with this watch. Thank you Sir!

[@ValenciaTimeCenter]

If you are asking about the crystal, then no it is not a sapphire crystal and not deemed scratch resistant. That being said I rarely see scratches on G-Shock crystals because they are recessed enough from the bezel that they do not get hit all of the time.

[@BikeKayaker]

Hi, Great explanation. I went thru it multiple times and the day of the week finally got set correctly. I'll try the atomic tonight. I know it's off about 2 minutes, so this will test the atomic. Thank you very much for the video!

[@ianbold2616]

reset button would be nice. my protrek prw-5100 was a piece of cake to set. why is this one so difficult?

[@christod5288]

SO helpful!!! I have a G-Shock 5121 Literally the only worthwhile setup video for my watch!

[@ValenciaTimeCenter]

I personally like the 4000. The white on the dial makes all the difference to me. Plus the size is a little bit bigger which I like.

[@surfing636]

This video was a great help, I watched it first, then used the online manual (bigger print on the computer screen). This video made sense of the manual!

[@kalyana7167]

Yes, i understand , im sorry its my mistake i didnt see all the comments. Nice review :)

[@beastfrom66]

...I could most probably figure all this out using the manual ...however, this excellent instructional video is a hell of a lot more enjoyable introduction to my GW4000 ...thanks mate \m/

[@GameBenchers]

You saved me a lot of time reading the manual. Thanks for the video!

[@jammski64]

Great information on setting this watch. Thank you

[@jongmr]

im so glad you posted this video. the manual was very confusing. thank you!

[@ValenciaTimeCenter]

Sounds like it may have received a signal? Maybe the settings for day light savings are incorrect? Start from scratch if you have to, the video shows you exactly how to set it. Btw, there is a timezone 1 hour ahead of LAX. I believe on the watch is DEN.

[@ValenciaTimeCenter]

I've addressed this many times in the comments, many people are not in a position to always receive the signal. This video is for them. Just trying to help people out. Thanks for watching

[@Merocity]

Awesome thank you got this watch as a gift from the wife, wasn't able to set the time or alarm thank you again.

[@afistfulofpimples1745]

What does she look like?

[@ValenciaTimeCenter]

The way I understand on this watch it's not optional. An hour in the dark and the second hand will sleep. 6-7 days in the dark and the whole watch sleeps. To exit power save mode just expose the watch to a well lit area.

[@lib3rat3]

man this saved me from throwing the watch across the room in frustration, not that anything would've happened to it

[@chitterlingsrtasty]

Thanks... i just wasn't getting from the manual. Got my year and month setup properly now

[@jgquiroz5280]

thank you for your time for putting this video on this platform and help me to set my watch's time.

[@Tom-rw8fr]

Thank you. Very handy. Been years since I wore mine and I needed to change from DST to Standard.

[@gregdimas3011]

Thanks for the help I got some settings right but I can't get the day of the week I've tried 3 times. The big downfall of this watch is not being able to tell what mode you are in during setting.

[@ValenciaTimeCenter]

The 24 hour hand moves in conjunction with the main hands. All you have to do is run your main hands back 12 hours, the little subdial will follow.

[@ameerkamil59]

This video is my reference for setting up my watch

[@ValenciaTimeCenter]

They would appear to be the same watch. Different model numbers due to different availability in different countries.

[@wah1628forever]

I got this watch as a gift honestly I wouldn’t buy it myself because it is too much trouble for setting up the watch even I watch this video and every year I have trouble to adjust it

[@brittsmith1824]

THANK YOU! You video is the only place I have found that I could use to set my G-Shock (GW3000BB-1A) since I messed it up after the recent time change. Great to have my watch correct again with your help.

[@diwasrai2087]

thnaks for the video now able to set up time .no more confusion

[@ValenciaTimeCenter]

Great news Don. I tried to comment that to you yesterday but KZbin wouldn't let the comment post. Said "error"

[@alltimelover313]

Awesome Video...Setting up the Watch ws so smooth....I have the GW3000B-1A but the setup steps were the same...thnx a lot again!!!

[@slipknoter106]

Thank you for the video. I followed everything accordingly and for some reason, my watch does not keep the proper day of the week. I set it for 1005AM 27 March 2021. The watch for some reason thinks that is a Thursday....odd.

[@jamierizzo1030]

Thank you very much I would have beendead without you

[@gooner1123]

Awesome video..just picked mine up today. video is a lifesaver and timesaver as I was contemplating returning it if I couldn't figure out the settings

[@jamierizzo1030]

I have to say you saved my ass thank you for this video I use it twice a year daylight saving time and Standard Time keep up the good work

[@electricman555]

@vtc4198, thank you so much, i the video again and it turns out that i accidentally pressed on the day light saving mode. Thanks

[@joedonnelly6293]

Excellent Brother! you just helped me bring back to lie my fave tough solar g shock after many years. thank you

[@71digiboy]

Would it not be easier to just select your home time zone and then activate signal receive? The watch then does everything for you.

[@runeveryday1069]

Thank You, very helpful.

[@angski_1125]

this video really helped me out on my 4000....thanks for the tutorial! you the real MVP!

[@alexanderellison789]

Thanks, man, you saved my Dad's ass.

[@johns4846]

i just got this watch, its awesome. i dont think its too big, although i have a large wrist

[@ianbold2616]

helpful video if you watch before casio usa. the guy could not help me set this watch at all. infact he gave up and told me his technical supervisor would give me a call. have not heard anything and now my watch is even more screwed up then it was when I received it. ?!

[@verolopez19]

Hello. I love you video but I have some problems whit my g shock 4000 5087. The seconds hand isn’t aligned in the 12 o clock when is in crono mode. Can you help me please. Thank you so much

[@ValenciaTimeCenter]

Casio doesn't advertise any specific temperature ratings for this watch specifically, however, I would think this watch should be sealed in a manner that those types of temps shouldn't affect it. If the build up is indeed on the inside of the crystal I wouldn't feel comfortable. Casio may be able to provide a better answer bu in short, I don't feel like that should be happening.

[@konradp617]

Great video. Thank you very. At last I know how to set up my watch.

[@dougwrightson3449]

Thanks so much for doing this. I was confused as hell

[@raky-profile]

Oh it's very complicated to adjust the time. I have the unit and took long to adjust the hour. Maybe after 8 yrs if my watch will not work already. Maybe I'll look better or easier G-shock. Simply to adjust. This unit is hard to adjust.

[@ValenciaTimeCenter]

Glad we could help Arthur!

[@longjing8855]

how to trouble shoot the second finger that can't point to 12 when you set the time adustment?

[@mattybooy1995]

any video on how to do the alarm

[@swordhand]

Life saver!

[@MrMASAHIRO1997]

Wonderful video with shaking fingers :)

[@abderezaklakas2117]

thank u for the vedeo...the adjustmt of date and year was quite confusing...can someone help

[@bunyaminbenarda3772]

Thanks eBay and thanks for this nice Video Bro...

[@Asarec1]

There's just one thing I don't get . I set up everything including the date and the year , the exact time , my time zone and whether It's STD or DST . I set it to DST but after I was done I pressed the mode button to see if everything was ok and after the zero for the stopwatch it showed STD . I'm just wondering why since I set it to DST.

[@keyisdeep]

I got a problem. When i hold the adjust button, the second hand moves to n initially and then move to manual setting( about 5 seconds later) mode. I know the initially n means i did not receive radio successfully last time. But the next two seconds the second hand doesn't move until 5 seconds i hear the little double beeps.Can you help me?

[@BikeKayaker]

Is there a way to TURN OFF the alarm so it does not ring?

[@electricman555]

@vtc4918, When i change it to the timezone DEN the time is correct and it is an hour ahead of LAX so only the LAX time is wrong, one hour behind, so what do you think that I should do?

[@electricman555]

Can you help me out, all of a sudden today my g shock gw400-la, changed to be an hour ahead of my timezone and i cant figure out how to fix it because i am in the LAX time zone and there isn't a time zone that is only 1 hour ahead of mine. Thanks

[@golamrabbani7229]

I have one this.but i didn’t use it last 5 years.that's why battery is dead.now how can i fix this problem

[@Jleon1983]

Good instructions thanks.

[@Dimitri2883]

How do you read the month and year on the watch? I see date and day of week but no way to read month and year.

[@golf2306]

Pls tell me how to on or off power saving mode. I can not find this function.

[@jannosk7115]

you saved my day with this video.thanks mate

[@Turantimuririna]

Thank you very much, really great video and help me so much, i coudnt recieve any radio signal and manual set is really not simple (at least for me), in short thank you and dont delete video please..

[@simplemr.1056]

Super like for you, very helpful

[@yazhdas50]

Hi it was really helpfull.. can u pls explain how to set the day of the week

[@Rob.van.D]

Hi, thanks voor the instructions. I live in the Netherlands, so I set the time at Paris. Now, can I put the left dial hands to the time of NYC? and how can I do this? thanks! gr, Rob

[@smallgreentreefrog]

How do you set this watch to Pacific time rather than Eastern? The atomic feature automatically syncs to Eastern time.

[@ValenciaTimeCenter]

It's only made clear in the setting mode, when you are initially setting the calendar. Other than that I do not know of a way to see the month or year. When you are in the set mode, you have to set the month by aligning the hand at the number corresponding with that month 12(Dec)...1(Jan)...2(Feb) and so forth. They year is set similarly by first setting the decade 20X2...1(2010)...2(2020)...3(2030) and then following by setting the year 201X...2(2012)...3(2013)...4(2014) and so forth.

[@AdrianScarlatAS]

Thank you, I managed to set up my watch.

[@bellysedc9592]

[@jackiet6808]

[@davemitchell469]

I see that this is an old video but I own one of these, got it as a father's day gift. I recently changed the battery and I noticed that the date changes at midday instead of midnight. Can anyone help ???

[@kalyana7167]

It has atomic time keeping u dont need to mess with the time

[@fibbe75]

Hi, Thank's for the video! The date on my watch,is in between 12 and 11,and the weekday if one day wrong.. Is there a way to fix this?

[@michaelgmishgrish1979]

Thank you very much! This video really helped me and now i am enjoying my G shock!

[@KerryFreemanMelbourne]

Many many thanks. you saved my day.

[@shawnfarand]

Does anyone know how to adjust or zero the right hand dial??? It seems that mine now ALMOST points to the correct day, but it appears to be a fraction off.

[@New777World]

Day of the week is off on gw-4000!!! its seems like this gw4000 model has no fix! on the Internet. i fallow your video to the T over and over again and the day of the week is still off. any recommendations please! that would help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 😖😖😖😖

[@dj88g]
