Time connects us to every part of the world. Knowing different time zones is essential whether you’re traveling, working across countries, or have loved ones abroad. But switching between time zones in your head can get confusing.

That’s where a world time watch becomes super helpful.

With a world time watch, you don’t have to guess or calculate what time it is in another country. You can simply check your wrist. These watches show multiple time zones on one dial, saving time and effort.

At Sylvi, we create smart, stylish, and easy-to-use world time watches for modern men. Whether you’re a professional who handles global business calls or a frequent flyer crossing continents, Sylvi helps you stay in sync—anywhere, anytime.

In this guide, we’ll explain what a world time watch is, how it works, and how to set it up quickly.

What is a World Time Watch?

A World Time Watch is a type of watch that shows the time in several cities or time zones at once. Most models include:

• A rotating 24-hour ring (which shows day and night)
• A city ring with the names of different cities from around the world

This makes it easy for you to check the time in another place just by looking at your watch—no need to use your phone or do mental math.

Why Use a World Time Watch?

Here’s why world time watches are so useful:

• You can see your local time and international time at once.
• Great for people who travel often or work globally.
• Helps with planning calls, meetings, or trips across countries.
• Looks stylish and feels powerful on the wrist!

Key Features of a World Time Watch

Let’s break down the features so you can understand your watch better:

1. City Ring (Time Zone Ring)

Around the edge of the watch face, you’ll see names of important cities like New York, London, Tokyo, etc. These represent the 24 main time zones of the world.

This ring helps you see what time it is in those cities quickly.

2. 24-Hour Scale

Inside the dial, you may find a 24-hour scale. It shows time from 00 to 24 hours and helps you understand whether it’s day or night in other cities.

3. Main Time Hands

These are the normal hour and minute hands showing your local or home time.

4. Sub-Dials or Digital Display (in some models)

Some watches have small extra dials or digital screens that show time in other zones—so you can glance at multiple time zones without changing the main time.

How to Set a World Time Watch – Step-by-Step Guide

Step 1: Enter World Time Mode

Make sure your watch is in the regular time mode first. Then, press the B button once to go into World Time Mode.

Now you’ll be able to view a second time zone along with your home time.

Step 2: View Dual Time Zones

In this mode, your watch will show:

• Home Time – The time you originally set.
• World Time – A second time zone that you can select.

This is very helpful if you’re talking to someone abroad or traveling.

Step 3: Choose a City

To select a different city/time zone:

• Press the C button repeatedly to scroll through different cities.
• Each city represents a different time zone around the world.

Step 4: Confirm the City

Once you find your desired city:

• Press the A button to lock it in.
• The world time will now update to show the correct time for that city.

Step 5: View Both Times Anytime

Now, your watch shows:

• Your home time
• Your selected world time

You don’t need to press anything to see both—they’re always there. It’s like having two watches in one!

Common Mistakes to Avoid

When setting up your world time watch, keep these tips in mind:

• Don’t forget to exit World Time Mode after setting up.
• Double-check that you selected the right city.
• Always press the A button to confirm the city you picked.
• Adjust for Daylight Saving Time (DST) if needed.
• Make sure you don’t accidentally change the home time.
• Pay attention to AM/PM or 24-hour format.
• If unsure, always check the watch manual—each model is a little different.
