The MTG-900 supports automatic DST which can be activated in the time setting mode.  However, the ROM in the MTG-900 dates from before Congress (in their infinite ability to make mistakes) modified the DST schedule, so, instead of switching at the beginning of April and the end of October (as currently specified), it switches at the end of April and the beginning of October (as previously specified).
I do not believe that there is a way to change the DST scheduling or manually turn DST on or off.  I've resorted to changing the time zone manually and turning off the DST feature.  IOW, I set the timezone to Pacific (LAX) during PST, and, to Mountain (DEN) during PDT.

    I made a mistake... THe DST setting has three possible values... ON->AUTO->OFF.


    DST ON -- The watch will add one hour to the WWVB time for the standard timezone specified.
    DST OFF -- The watch will calibrate to the WWVB time for the standard timezone specified.
    DST AUTO -- Will behave as described above.


    I apologize if this created any confusion. I would prefer to edit my previous solution, but, apparently that is not possible.

Skmei watch 1163- Daylight savings time- how to set

To set the Daylight Savings Time on your SKMEI 1163 watch, first press and hold the "MODE" button for approximately three seconds until the "SET" mode appears. Then, press the "MODE" button again until you reach the "DST" mode. Use the "ALARM ON/OFF" button to toggle between "ON" and "OFF" for Daylight Savings Time. Once you have set your desired option, press the "MODE" button again to confirm and exit the setting mode. Your watch should now display the correct time, accounting for Daylight Savings Time.

How to adjust your Skyhawk for Daylight Savings Time (DST) *aka How to get UTC...

How to adjust your Skyhawk for Daylight Savings Time (DST) *aka How to get UTC to reflect the correct time when your local time is set*
According to Citizen's website FAQ, their watches cannot determine when daylight savings time goes into effect for all the different time zones so there is no automatic changeover from SMT to normal and back again. If you are on the winter side of the time change (fall back), you'll have to go to the set setting, one click out on the knob and cycle through all the timezones using the B button (the lower one) to change all the settings to OF (for winter) and in the spring change all of the appropriate timezones back to ON (for summer time). Disappointing, I know... for an otherwise great watch this would be my one complaint.

Watch not showing correct time ,my location is set orrect

If your watch is 1 hour out it could be showing daylight saving time (DST).

If this is the case, then press the mode button until you reach DST and then use the one at 2 or 4 O'clock to turn it off or on as required.

4379 Radio Controlled 1 hour behind

It could be that you are still on daylight saving time (DST).

I don't know which make of watch you have but there should be a button marked "mode" press this until you reach DST and then experiment with the buttons to change it from on to off.

Cannot change from 24 hour to 12 hour also did not change to daylight savings time

To change from 24 hour to 12 hour, you hold down the "Mode" button until it switches from 24 hour to 12 hour or vice versa. To change the time zone, you hold down the "Set" button until the time zone that you set it in flashes (like "LAX" on my watch). Then you press the "Receive/Start/Stop" button to choose the specified time zone you want. To set for daylight savings time ("DST" on the watch), after holding the "Set" button and having the time zone flash, you could press the "Mode" button. It will give you a few options for the daylight savings time (Auto, On, or Off). I chose the "On" option, which immediately changed for daylight savings time. If you manually want to change the time, you could hold down the "Set" button and keep pressing the "Mode" button until the time starts flashing on your watch, then pressing the "Receive/Start/Stop" button until you change it to the time that you want. You could also set the watch to beep or chime after pressing the set button if you wanted to know that piece. You hold down the "Set" button when you are done to get it to stop flashing. These instructions worked for my Timex T5G341 Universal Radio Control Watch. I hope this helps.

Echo drive skyhawk,My watch's time zone is always one hour behind

You posted this in January, which is not during daylight savings time. The SMT setting doesn't turn on automatic DST switching for a particular timezone; rather, it is a manual override to adjust timezones to DST when it is actually active. There is no automatic DST adjustment for this watch (according to their FAQ). Turn SMT to OF for all timezones during winter months, and ON for applicable timezones during SuMmer Time (SMT).

Time zone

You don't need to set the watch back an hour.  You just need to turn off the automatic DST adjustment.
Hold ADJUST for several seconds.  Then, when DEN starts flashing (or whatever timezone you are set to), hit MODE The display will change to DST flashing at the top and on or auto flashing at the bottom. Click TIME/MEMO or RECEIVE to change on->auto->off.  Once off is flashing at the bottom, hit ADJUST twice and you will be out of DST mode and everything should be fine.

Timex T5E881

You have to get in the right time zone, that’s why you are an hour off (and this may also occur if you are in an area that switches between daylight savings time each spring and fall).
Press mode until ZO appears on the watch face.
Press and hold ADJ. Time zone will begin to flash.
Select start/stop or adjust to get to the right time zone P, C, M, E (pacific, eastern, Mountain, central)
If desired , press mode to select DST (daylight savings time) and press start/stop or adjust to turn it on or off.
Press adjust when done.
