A convenient way to set the time zone is to use the crown.
The date is automatically adjusted.
In this process, the second hand indicates
the hour set by turning the crown on the
minute track - see visualisation diagram:
Minute 0 = midnight
Minute 1 = 1 o’clock/ 1 a.m.
Minute 18 = 18:00/6 p.m., etc. until
Minute 23 = 23:00/11 p.m.

5. Time synchronisation
The Junghans MEGA offers you 2 options to synchronise the
time:
5.1. Synchronisation using the Junghans App:
With the Junghans App, you can synchronise your watch
with the time data stored in your smartphone.
1. Download App
2. In the menu, select: Set MEGA watch
3. Select “HELP” button for instructions
5.2. Synchronisation via a radio signal
If you are within the transmission range of one of the time
signal transmitters, you can synchronise the time manually.
Your Junghans MEGA can receive radio signals from the fol-
lowing time signal transmitters:
– Europe: DCF77 in Mainflingen
– Japan: JJY40 near Tokyo and JJY60 near Osaka
The range of the transmitters is up to 1500 km depending on
topographical conditions.

time signal transmitter
Press the corrector in crown position A for 4 seconds. The
watch checks various time signals. During this process, the
second hand remains at the 10 o’clock position for up to
-
utes. The hour and minute hands remain at their current
position. As soon as a time signal is received, all hands are
automatically set to the time of the time signal transmitter.
If time synchronisation with one of the transmitters is not
possible, the reception attempt is terminated after 15 min-
utes. Your watch runs on the basis of a quartz watch until
the next synchronisation.
