Setup

1. Initial Time Setting

Upon first use or after a battery change, set the home city (time zone) and the current time. Refer to the detailed instructions in the full user manual for specific button operations. The watch supports Multi Band 6 atomic timekeeping, which automatically adjusts the time based on radio signals in supported regions.

2. Date Setting

Adjust the current date, including the year, month, and day. Ensure the correct leap year setting if applicable.

3. Sensor Calibration (Optional)

For optimal accuracy of the compass, altimeter, and barometer, perform a sensor calibration in a stable environment. Consult the full user manual for detailed calibration procedures.

Maintenance

Cleaning

Wipe the watch regularly with a soft, dry cloth to remove dirt and moisture. For stubborn dirt, use a soft brush and mild soap solution, then rinse thoroughly with fresh water and dry completely. Avoid using chemical cleaners or solvents.

Water Resistance

The GWG-1000-1A3CR is water resistant to 200 meters (20 BAR). This rating allows for swimming, showering, and snorkeling. Do not operate buttons or the crown while the watch is wet or submerged to prevent water ingress.

Battery

This watch uses a quartz movement. While many G-Shock models feature Tough Solar power, if your specific model requires battery replacement, it should be performed by a qualified technician to maintain water resistance and proper function.

Troubleshooting

• Time is incorrect: Ensure your home city setting is correct. If in a Multi Band 6 reception area, check for successful signal reception. Manual time adjustment may be necessary if outside reception range or if automatic adjustment fails.
• Sensor readings are inaccurate: Perform a sensor calibration as described in the full user manual. Ensure the watch is not exposed to extreme temperature changes or strong magnetic fields when taking readings.
• Display is blank or dim: Check the battery level. If the watch has a power-saving feature, ensure it is not activated. Exposure to light may be required for solar-powered models.
• Buttons are unresponsive: Ensure no mud or debris is obstructing the buttons. Clean the watch thoroughly. If the issue persists, contact customer support.
