How do i know ifmy wavecepter watch is set to automatically switch to dst

Yes, if it's an " atomic clock " it should automatically change to the correct time although this may take a while, like 3 to 4 hours.

Hi ...



your watch supports Time Zones , Automatic time Updates, Automatic adjustments of DST.









First Verify Correct Home City Is Selected

This way you can set DST

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.

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).

(I posted this solution elsewhere but it should help you as well.)

Firstly, the manual that comes with these watches is absolute garbage,which is a stark contrast from the watches themselves. ( I love casiowatches - high value)

The good news is that Casio DID make a good manual for these wavecptor watches. If you go to this url

http://world.casio.com/wat/download/en/manual/

you will be at a spot where you can type in your 4 digit module numberand get a great document that tells you how to operate your unit andsome of how it works. (Adobe Acrobat - PDF file)

You should be able to hold in the "Adjust" button until the time zone starts flashing and push "Time Memo" and/or "Recieve" buttons until you are in the right time zone. Push "Adjust" again and your are done. The Manual above was very useful for me.

Hope that helps. :-)

If DST is set to AUTO,time (DST ON-DST OFF) is corrected automatically when the watch is synchronized.
Synchronization period (Radiocontrol) from 00:00 until 06:00.
If you live in an area where atomic signal cannot be reached by the watch,you have to change DST-NORMAL and vv,manually,by going to WT (World Time) function and when your city (or the closest big one) appears on the display,press and keep pressed for 1-2sec the SET button.
DST mark will appear or disappear,accordingly.

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.

seems pretty extensive.
you either need to set your time manually if you are not automatically receiving the atomic signal. if you are receiving the signal, then either you are not in auto DST mode or your home city is set incorrectly.
