Kwt 11 Posted January 12, 2015 Well I think you will be alright mate. There are 2 towers in Europe: UK and Germany. I find that it seems to pick up the wave band every 2 or so days. You know if it has been successful as it will have RCVD in the left side. Try not to dwell on it too much though. It's gonna be accurate. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GenTLe 1,509 Posted January 12, 2015 I want to see how precise is that. Micky can you please take a shoot of it over the timegrapher? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SSTEEL 0 Posted January 13, 2015 lol Well I placed the watch correctly near the window last night, but it didn't pick up the signal. Will try again tonight. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MoveAlong 23 Posted January 15, 2015 Just ordered one of these, looking forward to it! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SSTEEL 0 Posted January 15, 2015 Just ordered one of these, looking forward to it! Its a great watch, where you located? Its just that I am struggling to get a signal to the radio tower in Germany. The signal is rated L1, which is weak, but it fails each time. I even tried on the roof of our building block, but still no good :( Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MoveAlong 23 Posted January 15, 2015 I am CONUS, about 1000 kilometers away from the closest tower that is in Denver, CO. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Every time I do a manual receive it fails but the receive in the evenings works about 50% of the time. I also get L1 signal strength. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SSTEEL 0 Posted January 16, 2015 Im not, but you know what Ocd is, when something has something, you have to get that something, to do something :P Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kwt 11 Posted January 16, 2015 Lol for the first few days I was a bit like you thinking this radio function does not work at all. But realistically I have only been using it for sport for now so if it picks up the time then great, it not forget about it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SSTEEL 0 Posted January 16, 2015 Very happy with it, like how its retro, and bloody bombproof Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SSTEEL 0 Posted January 26, 2015 Would you adam and eve it, the only time I take the watch off to put it in my watch drawers, it receives the radio signal and updates the time whilst in the drawer, all that time freezing my nuts off on our balcony, and it wouldn't get a signal, even went on the apartment roof lol Decided to take it off, and wear my LV Sub for a while, and it does this :P Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kwt 11 Posted January 26, 2015 Haha it does seem to have a mind of it's own. My is kept on the shelf away away from the Sun in the darkness and seems to update on it's own accord. Once it starts updating, it should do it more regularly. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MoveAlong 23 Posted January 27, 2015 Mine says hello! It receives the radio signal and updates every day at 12:04 AM. I keep it in a watch box at night with a glass top. I never would have thought I'd go for something like this, but I'm really enjoying it. Great work watch and very good for setting my automatics without having to go to the computer.
