Look up classic world-timer cities and compare hour difference from your home city.
If home is London (UTC+0) and the city is Tokyo (UTC+9), Tokyo is 9 hours ahead. On a world-timer, read the hour aligned with Tokyo on the city ring. Check DST when relevant.
1. Set your local time as usual.
2. Find the destination city on the 24-city ring.
3. Read the hour next to that city.
4. Use day/night indication if your watch has one.
5. Adjust mentally for DST where needed.
Offsets here are standard educational values for common reference cities. Political time-zone changes and daylight saving can differ from a printed bezel.
What cities are on a world timer watch?Usually 24 reference cities around the bezel or dial, one per hour zone.
How do I read a world timer watch?Read the hour aligned with each city after local time is set correctly.
Why do some world timer cities use old names?Older dials keep historical names; modern lists map them to current cities.
Does DST affect world timer watches?Yes. Fixed rings may need a one-hour mental adjustment during DST.
