Daylight Saving Time (DST)
Daylight Saving Time (summer time) advances the time setting by one hour from

Saving Time.

data. When the Auto DST setting is turned on, the watch switches between Standard
Time and DST (summer time) automatically in accordance with the received time
signal.
The time calibration signals transmitted from Fukushima and Fukuoka/Saga (Japan)
do not include summer time data.
