Scheduling Across NZST and WAT
For professionals scheduling meetings between NZST and WAT, finding overlapping business hours is essential. Standard business hours are typically 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM in each time zone. Given the 11 hours difference, the window of overlap may be limited, making early morning or late evening calls necessary for one party.

Daylight Saving Time Considerations
NZST observes Daylight Saving Time, switching to NZDT (UTC+13) during summer months. WAT does not observe DST, staying at UTC+1 year-round.
