    You can do this by pressing the Reverse or Forward button. [4]
    • Setting the minutes to a minute prior to the current time will allow the minutes to automatically synchronize when the seconds reach 60 again.

    Press the "Reverse" or "Forward" button to cycle to the current hour (e.g., 6 ). [5]
    • If you're using 12-hour time on your watch, make sure that the time of day (represented by "AM" and "PM") is correct. If it isn't, you'll have to cycle through 12 times to get to the correct time.
  9. {"smallUrl":"https:\/\/www.wikihow.com\/images\/thumb\/0\/03\/Set-the-Time-on-a-Baby-G-Watch-Step-9-Version-3.jpg\/v4-460px-Set-the-Time-on-a-Baby-G-Watch-Step-9-Version-3.jpg","bigUrl":"\/images\/thumb\/0\/03\/Set-the-Time-on-a-Baby-G-Watch-Step-9-Version-3.jpg\/aid1787586-v4-728px-Set-the-Time-on-a-Baby-G-Watch-Step-9-Version-3.jpg","smallWidth":460,"smallHeight":345,"bigWidth":728,"bigHeight":546,"licensing":"<div class=\"mw-parser-output\"><p>License: <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noreferrer noopener\" class=\"external text\" href=\"https:\/\/creativecommons.org\/licenses\/by-nc-sa\/3.0\/\">Creative Commons<\/a><br>\n<\/p><p><br \/>\n<\/p><\/div>"}
    You can press the Mode button to cycle through other options that you watch has to offer, and use the Reverse/Forward buttons to adjust them as needed: [6]
    • Time zone - This will usually appear at the top of the watch's face. Keep in mind that the time zone will affect the current hour.
    • DST - You can turn this on or off on supported watches. Doing so will allow your watch's time to reset based on daylight savings time.
    • 12H or 24H - This setting will allow you to choose between 12-hour time (e.g., AM and PM) and 24-hour time (e.g., 06:00 for 6 AM, 18:00 for 6 PM).
    • Light - On Baby G watches that have lights built in, you may be able to set a number of seconds for which the light displays.
    • Date - You can usually adjust the month and day on supported watches.
  10. {"smallUrl":"https:\/\/www.wikihow.com\/images\/thumb\/1\/1a\/Set-the-Time-on-a-Baby-G-Watch-Step-10-Version-3.jpg\/v4-460px-Set-the-Time-on-a-Baby-G-Watch-Step-10-Version-3.jpg","bigUrl":"\/images\/thumb\/1\/1a\/Set-the-Time-on-a-Baby-G-Watch-Step-10-Version-3.jpg\/aid1787586-v4-728px-Set-the-Time-on-a-Baby-G-Watch-Step-10-Version-3.jpg","smallWidth":460,"smallHeight":345,"bigWidth":728,"bigHeight":546,"licensing":"<div class=\"mw-parser-output\"><p>License: <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noreferrer noopener\" class=\"external text\" href=\"https:\/\/creativecommons.org\/licenses\/by-nc-sa\/3.0\/\">Creative Commons<\/a><br>\n<\/p><p><br \/>\n<\/p><\/div>"}
    This will set your Baby G watch's time to match your selected time. [7]
    • On some watch models especially analog-digital ones you may need to hold down Adjust for a couple of seconds before the time will set.
    • Analog-digital models' hands will automatically adjust to match the digital time.

    How do I illuminate the 3 smaller circular windows? The windows are so dark I cannot read the display.
    Community Answer
    You don't, sadly. The only thing you can do if you've had the watch for some time is get new batteries put in. My 3 windows faded to nothing so I had new batteries put in, I can now see the numbers again and they are not overly bright, but they are now visible.

      • Most Casio Baby G watches are more or less the same when it comes to setting the time, so these instructions should work for almost any style.
