HELP! My Analogue and Digital Times Aren't Syncing!

Welcome back to my blog, everyone! Today, I'm going to dive into a problem that a lot of you have been asking about. What to do if the Analogue and Digital times don't sync up. Quite a few people get frustrated, ask to return the watch, thinking it's faulty. That's not the case at all, so in this article, I'll show you how to get your watch syncing up again. I'll be focusing on 4 models: The GA-110, the GG-1000, the GA100 and the GSTS100. Now, if your watch is ANY of these variants, you'll be able to set it up without a problem. Ready? Here We Go!

First up, the GA-110 model. Now, to save some virtual paper, I'll be saying A,B,C,D when I indicate which buttons you need to press, so here's the picture from the manual, so you can follow along.

So, for argument's sake, let's say it's 6:30 PM where you are. On the digital time it says 6:30 (please note by default it actually shows the DATE, you have to press C to get it to show the time). The Analogue however, shows the time as 4:25 (quite a big difference!) How do we fix this? First press D, and hold it until the digital display reads H.SET.

Push C and the hands will start moving automatically. Here's the important bit here, wait until the hands stop moving, then use buttons B or D (depending where the hands have stopped) to get the hands to 12:00 (both the hour and minute). If you hold the button, it does make the hands go automatically, so you need to press the button again to make it stop and adjust the hands manually, if you overshoot the 12:00 marker.

Got them at 12:00? Excellent! now press A and watch the hands go exactly where you needed them to! Simple, right?

Next up is the GG-1000 Mudmaster.

This one has a few more buttons but it should be pretty straight forward too. Ok, so the first difference is, this time we hold the A Button first. Now, you will hear a beep like with the GA110, but this time you need to keep holding, again until you actually see H.SET (not Adjust, which comes up first).

Next, push D and wait for the hands to stop moving, then use buttons B and E to get the hands back to 12:00, then press A again to align the time. With this one, the hands are a little bit slow so it'll take time for them to set back to the correct position (unless you do it near midday or midnight.

Moving right along, we have the GA-100 series.

This is pretty much exactly the same as the GA-100, so Press D and hold until you get H.Set, then press C to make the hands move, and use B and D to adjust to 12 o'clock. Afterwards, press A and watch your watch correct itself.

Finally, the G-Steel series, where I'll be highlight the GSTS100. Now, just a reminder, these instructions will work on all subsets (so GA-110GB-1A, GA-100-1A4, CA100CF-1A, etc, these instructions fix them all).

As with the GG1000 Series, you have to hold A for about 8-10 seconds. Wait for the screen to show H-SET, not Adjust. Then use B and D to move the hands to 12 o'clock, and press A again to adjust. There you have it, all the models you buy will have the exact same instructions to follow. Just remember, look at the screen and wait until H-SET is shown, don't just rely on the tones.
