When the watch is paired with a phone running CASIO WATCHES, it sets its time by itself, connecting at around 12:30 a.m., 6:30 a.m., 12:30 p.m. and 6:30 p.m. To set the time from the phone now, open CASIO WATCHES, keep the phone within one meter and press D in the Timekeeping Mode: TIME flashes, then OK shows and the time is corrected.

If the watch connects to the phone but still shows the wrong time, check the hand alignment.

In any mode, hold C for at least one second to go back to the Timekeeping Mode.
