Understanding Functions
Before learning how to change the time on a G-Shock watch, it’s important to understand all the functions on your Casio watch:
Adjust
Located on the upper-left corner of your timepiece, this feature will place your watch into ‘edit mode'.
Reverse
Situated on the upper-right corner, this button will move the watch back one value each time you press it. Should you be required to alter the timezone of your watch, this is the button you would use.
Forward
On the lower-right corner of the watch, this feature is essentially the same as the reverse button, with the exception that it moves the value forward rather than back.
Mode
On the lower-left corner of your watch, this feature is used to cypher through each of the options on your watch until you reach the setting you are after.
Light
Appearing on only certain G-Shock models, this button allows you to change the auto-light settings on your timepiece.
How To Change Time On G-Shock Analogue Watches
- Hold down the ‘adjust’ button on your G-Shock watch for around five seconds, after which you should hear it beep once.
- Once you hear it beep, press the mode button so you can go through the various settings including the hour, minute and seconds hand.
- Depending on whether you want to bring your time forwards or backwards, you will need to press the forward or reverse button.
- Once the hour, minute and seconds hands have reached their desired position, press the adjust button to set the time in place.
- To change the time zone on your G-Shock timepiece, you will need to press the mode button until you see the abbreviation, ‘TPE’ appear on the face of your watch.
- Following this, your watch should be in word time mode. You will then have to press the forward button several times until you find the correct time zone you want your watch to be in.
- To set your time zone, you will then need to hold down the adjust button for several seconds.
How To Change Time On G-Shock Digital Watches
While its features may mimic G-Shock’s analogue watches to an extent, the method for altering the time of G-Shock digital watches is not the same.

- Press the mode button several times until the seconds digits begin flashing.
