To quickly confirm that your alarm is set on your G-SHOCK watch, follow these simple steps.
Enter the Alarm mode by pressing C button – MODE - until the AL appears on the screen. The watch will display the current alarm time. Following this, look for an icon that resembles a small bell symbol. If this bell icon is displayed on the screen, it means the alarm is set and active. However, if the bell icon is not displayed, the alarm is turned off.
How many alarms can be set on a G-SHOCK?
All G-SHOCK watches have 5 daily alarms built in as standard. These can be programmed to go off daily and come in very handy for appointments, recurring meetings or medication reminders. G-SHOCK watches also feature an hourly signal alarm (SIG). When activated, this will enable an hourly beep chime at the turn of every hour in the day – allowing you to audibly keep track of time.
What if the alarm is going off by mistake?
If the alarm goes off by mistake, silencing it is simple, just hit any button to shut it down in an instant.
