Thank you so much. Just received a GXW-56-1BJF. There were English instructions included so was able to complete the initial set up. But the next week came the daylight savings time switch. I couldn’t get things straight between home and UTC settings. I had almost given up until I found your tutorial. It saved the watch from being relegated to the old watch drawer. Thank you.

Great review! Just got one today from Ebay. Mine only came with Japanese instructions, so your tutorial is much appreciated. I like the size, it really isn't too much bigger than a Rangeman. Wears nicely on my 7+ inch wrist!

@Graymanone Жыл бұрын

i just got mine and your video helped a lot. The instructions I got are all in Japanese. I will say it's a rugged watch but the numbers are very little in contrast to the size of the watch. My Timex Ironman shock watch is much smaller but much more legible than the G Shock King. $45 vs $215.

Thank you very much. I just picked up this grail on the secondary market in Sydney. Interestingly he ability to select ‘auto’ DST is disabled. I assume this is because the multi band does not receive signal in AU. I will test if it updates (RCVD) on a trip to both US & UK in the next month. Thank you again - this is priceless as you know, the supplied manual is in Japanese. I had watched your review previously and have enjoyed watching it whilst setting my new ‘king of G’ watch up.

I live in Arizona and we don't use daylight saving. So half the year we are pacific time, and half the year we are mountain due to daylight saving time changes. So I set my watch to LA time and now it's off an hour. because it keeps reading LA time. Does this mean I'll need to change to Denver time the. we are mountain time zone and then back to LA time when we are pacific time zone? Can I tuen the atomic sun off?

this is approximately the same size as the mudman g9300, but with less features - no thermometer, no compass - therefore not worth the money, in my opinion. Also, the time digits are the same size as the mudman g9300. It would be worth considering if the digits are significantly larger.
