How does Citizen Atomic Watch work?

HOW IT WORKS. A signal containing the precise time, day and date, measured by an atomic clock accurate to one second every 100,000 years, is sent directly to the watch using standard radio waves. This signal is picked up overnight by the timepiece which automatically adjust the date and time.

How does a radio controlled watch work?

Radio controlled watches and clocks receive a time signal from a radio transmitter tuned to a caesium or ‘Atomic Clock’. The transmitter signal is picked up by the watch or clock and sets the time and date automatically.

How do watches sync with atomic clock?

An atomic watch never needs to have its time or date set/adjusted because it receives a low frequency radio signal each night that keeps it perfectly synchronized with the US atomic clock in Colorado. The watch’s built in antenna searches once a day for the 60 kHz radio signal emitted from Ft.

How accurate are citizen radio controlled watches?

The atomic clocks from which Radio-Controlled watches receive their time signals are accurate to an astonishing margin of one second every 100,000 years. By synchronising with the most accurate time source in existence, your watch will always tell you the precise time.

What is an atomic radio controlled watch?

What are Radio Controlled Watches? Radio controlled watches connect to atomic clocks to make sure that the time kept on your watch is as precise as it can possibly be. Radio controlled watches regularly connect to local atomic clock transmitters to make sure that they stay as precise as possible.

How do you set an atomic Radio Controlled Clock?

Atomic Clocks may also be set manually and be very accurate. Simply insert the battery, press your time zone and then press the flap just above the left side of the battery. Hold until you reach the correct time and then release. Your clock is now an accurate quartz clock until it will find the signal.

How do you set an atomic radio controlled clock?

Are atomic watches safe?

These watches will have a system of receiving a signal from atomic clocks and there are no atoms within the timepiece. So there is no harmful thing happen to humans by wearing this.
