How to Set the Honduras Time Zone on a WR20BAR G-Shock

Blog Admin February 23, 2025

The WR20BAR G-Shock is a durable and water-resistant watch with multiple time zone settings. If you’re in Honduras and need to set the correct time zone, follow these step-by-step instructions to adjust your watch properly.

1. Understanding Time Zone Settings for Honduras

Honduras follows Central Standard Time (CST, UTC -6:00) all year round, as it does not observe Daylight Saving Time.

2. Steps to Set the Honduras Time Zone on a WR20BAR G-Shock

Step 1: Enter Timekeeping Mode

✔ Press the Mode button repeatedly until the time display appears.

Step 2: Access the Time Zone Settings

✔ Hold down the Adjust button (usually the top left button) until the city code starts flashing. ✔ Use the Forward (Search or +) or Reverse (–) buttons to scroll through the city codes. ✔ Select CHI (Chicago) or MEX (Mexico City) as both are in UTC -6:00, matching Honduras’ time zone.

Step 3: Confirm the Selection

✔ Press the Adjust button again to save the time zone setting.

Step 4: Check for Automatic Time Updates (If Applicable)

✔ If your model has radio-controlled timekeeping (Multi-Band 6), it will automatically sync with atomic time signals. ✔ If your model supports GPS time sync, ensure it has a clear view of the sky for best results.

3. Additional Time Adjustments

✔ Manual Time Correction: If the time is incorrect, press and hold Adjust to enter settings and use the Forward/Reverse buttons to modify the hour and minutes. ✔ Daylight Saving Time (DST) Setting: Ensure that DST is OFF, as Honduras does not observe it. ✔ 12/24-Hour Format: Toggle between 12-hour and 24-hour formats in the settings menu if needed.

4. Troubleshooting Common Issues

Issue: Time Zone Does Not Match Local Time

✔ Verify that you selected CHI or MEX (UTC -6:00) as the city code. ✔ Manually adjust the time if necessary.

Issue: Watch Not Holding Settings

✔ Ensure the battery is not low, as power-saving modes may reset settings. ✔ Reset the watch by holding Adjust for 5-10 seconds and re-entering settings.

5. Final Thoughts

Setting the correct time zone on your WR20BAR G-Shock ensures accurate timekeeping. By selecting CHI (Chicago) or MEX (Mexico City), your watch will align with Honduras’ UTC -6:00 time zone. Regularly check for any updates, especially if using a radio-controlled or GPS-enabled model.
