How to Set Time on a Casio Hunting Watch

By Daniel Barrows

The Casio PAS410B-5V is a digital watch designed to provide information useful in determining the optimal times for hunting or fishing, based on when fish or game is likely to be feeding. The watch uses several factors in its calculations, including the current time, date and user's location. As such, for the device to provide accurate information, users must first input the proper data into the watch's memory, using four buttons set along the periphery of the watch face.

Find the "D" button, located by the lower left corner of the watch face. Press the button repeatedly until the timekeeping display appears, showing the watch's current time, date and day of the week settings.

Press the "D" button to proceed to the time format setting. Press the "E" button to toggle between 12- and 24-hour time format modes. Select the desired time format mode.
