GW-M5610 World time Problem

Looking for some help.

I'm going to be heading to Hawaii for a work project in July.

It appears my G-Shock has the incorrect time for Hawaii and I have no idea how to change it.

I'm currently in the Eastern time zone...so "NYC" is my home setting.

The current time on the East coast is 934 PM and the watch is showing 435 PM with HNL selected as the WT city. The actual current time in Hawaii is 335 PM. I have DST set to off and when I turn it on the HNL time then jumps an hour forward to 535 PM.

Any help with manually changing the HNL time or resetting it would be most appreciated.

Side Note: Both my GW-2310 and GW-A1100R have the correct time for HNL.

From reading the post, I thought OP had DST off? So when you turn DST on, as it should be, the home time changes too. I would check the home time after the DST is on to make sure it's the right NY time, and double-check the home city.

That module automatically turns dst off for that time HNL since they don't observe it. According to what I'm seeing the time In Hawaii was correct on your watch when you first mentioned it was off.

Apologies for reviving an old thread.

I just ran into this, in case anyone else runs into this issue: the main time and world time display have their own manually controlled DST setting. Just make sure they're both on/off as you need.

I'm in greece at the moment and have been frustrated by my world time being incorrect. Had no idea WT had it's own DST setting that needed to match home time. Am sure manual says so but who reads that... luckily someone on here does. Many thanks.

Yes WT has its own DST toggle, each city independently no less. But it does not need to match home time.

For example I'm in US so home time has DST on. I currently have London as WT and DST on for London. But if I switch to say Tokyo as WT, I should have DST off for it.

Btw: where can I write to have DST terminates worldwide already.
