Arizona Time Zone

Hey! Arizona is always in Mountain Standard Time, right? You can select MST in your HoneyBook scheduler and company settings! 

Hope this helps! 

No! From March 10th - Nov 2nd, Arizona is PST.  From November 3rd - March 9th, Arizona is MST.  

For Example, today is 10/9/24 and it is 4:42pm in AZ, it is also 4:42pm in CA  which is on PST and if you look up what time is it in MST right now, you will see that it is 5:42pm   i.e., Colorado is one hour a head of us and they are in MST, MN (Central time) is two hours ahead of us, NY (Eastern time) is 3 hours a head of us.

After November 3rd.  AZ will be MST, We will be 1 hour ahead of CA (PST), we will be the same time as CO (MST), we will 1 hour behind MN(central time) and 2 hours behind NY (eastern time). 

It has been this way for years, what you see on Google is not always the correct answer. 

Also, if you google what time it is in AZ right now, you will see that it is the same as PST

Hi Carol! The Arizona state library government's website states that Arizona doesn't observe daylight saving time which means that the state time is in Mountain Standard Time year round.
 

Currently California is in Pacific Daylight Time as the state does observe Daylight saving Time. When the time changes this year on November 3rd, California and all other states that observe Daylight Saving Time will “fall back” into Pacific Standard Time. Arizona will continue in Mountain Standard Time. Setting your calendar to just MST (and not MST/MDT) will ensure that the timezone in your scheduler and calendar doesn't shift when the next time change happens since the MST setting won't adjust. 

I’m attaching an article here with a link to our Calendar troubleshooter article in the Help Center here.

Hope this helps!

The problem is, today 12/22/24 if I google ‘what time is it in MST’ you get 1:18pm BUT IN ARIZONA TIME, it is 12:18pm.  So if I have an appt for 3pm MST, I keep getting my clients who say ‘hey, my reminder - which is coming from their calendar because the calendar is set to AZ Time zone’ says my appt is at 2pm not 3pm. I then have to reach out to them and tell them that do not go by the MST and just use the time on the email.

Arizona is NOT in MST right now. 

Mountain Standard Time (MST) is 2 hours behind Eastern Standard Time (EST). To convert MST to EST, you have to add two hours. Mountain Standard Time (MST) is 1 hour behind Central Standard Time (CST).

Right now Arizona is 3 HOURS behind EST, NOT 2 hours. 

So everyone’s calendar that books the time in MST, their calendar adds another hour because AZ time does not equal MST.

I am sorry but I do not understand why I am even explaining this to you.  Google MST and Arizona time and you will see that there is a difference.

Hi Carol,

I know I have an appt with you on Oct 28th, my email says 10 but the confirmation says 9.” 

Hi Carol - apologies for any frustration here!

I understand that scheduling is a super important feature to get perfect, so please know we want to help. 💪 

Since this is such an important issue, could you please reach out to our Support team with some specific examples that we can bring to our Engineers?

Upon review, we do have an Arizona Time available for clients that it should automatically default to if their settings are set to this. I’m including a screenshot below of what that would look like!

(I am located in Central Time which is why it shows that as the default)

If their local settings are not registering this, there may be a disconnect between our calendar and their external calendar, or their settings could be causing the system to pick up “Mountain Time” incorrectly.

We look forward to hearing from you, and troubleshooting this to identify what’s going wrong!
