Tips and trends for radio-controlled wristwatches

Find the right radio-controlled watch for your needs

From a technical point of view, radio-controlled watches are quartz watches. These have been available on the mass market since the early 1980s. The signal of a time signal transmitter is essential. As a result, your radio-controlled watch achieves enormous precision, i.e. high accuracy. If you wear radio-controlled wristwatches, manual adjustment is no longer necessary.
Find out when it makes sense to buy a radio-controlled watch and what to look out for and that brands like Citizen, Dugena and Casio offer very interesting models

What distinguishes a radio-controlled watch

The most important feature, according to the name, is obviously the radio contact with the time signal transmitter. The precision that comes with this is the selling point for many fans of these watches. Technically, you usually receive this signal at night, i.e. once a day. This is an attempt to achieve the highest possible accuracy without unnecessarily consuming the energy of the watch. Other examples are station clocks, which are updated up to once a minute, or hourly radio contact with grandfather clocks and similar constructs. These do not receive their energy from a small battery and are therefore as dependent on economy as wristwatches.

What are radio-controlled clocks suitable for? Different types for different purposes

Most people will have a type of radio-controlled clock at home: Most computers have a radio-controlled clock to synchronize the internal clock. Of course, there are also classic radio-controlled wristwatches. With these companions in everyday life, you always have the time at hand down to the second. This way you can be sure to show up for appointments on time by having the right time at work. Another product class is the radio alarm clock, with the help of which you never have to get up late again. This means that you don't have to worry about missing the time change in summer or winter and can start the day on time.

Last but not least, there remains the wall clock, which is usually located in the living room, where we often spend time. Adjusting these clocks is often tedious because they are placed in hard-to-reach places and quite bulky. Radio-controlled clocks, however, adjust themselves!

What you should look for when buying a radio-controlled watch

Before you spend a lot of money on radio-controlled wristwatches, you naturally want to know which criteria make the purchase decision positive. First, consider your most frequent whereabouts. Do you work and live in massive reinforced concrete buildings or are you exposed to a high degree of electronics in these places? These are the biggest sources of interference for the radio signal. If radio-controlled wristwatches receive their signal at night and you sleep in a building where the signal cannot be received, the extra cost for the extra accuracy is not worth it. For example, you can probably get better time information with a smartphone and could consider other function watches such as diver's watches or automatic watches.

Manufacturer and Optics

Known for very high-quality radio-controlled watches are the manufacturers Citizen, Seiko, Dugena or Casio. Casio, for example, is committed to ensuring that customers do not have to manually adjust their wristwatch on the first day of the month. With Citizen's Eco-Drive technology, your radio-controlled watch on your wrist can be charged by solar energy and thus significantly extend the life of the battery. This is precisely where radio-controlled wristwatches tend to have their weak point.
Basically, you should pay attention to which materials and which display design suit you. For example, if you spend a lot of time in the open sun, it would be bad to use a matte display with gray hands and digits.

radio-controlled clocks trends

Radio-controlled watches have been on the mass market for more than 30 years. One might think that since smartphones can easily display the time to the second via the Internet, radio-controlled watches are no longer useful models. Nevertheless, radio-controlled wristwatches are also part of the increased demand for vintage products. Classic designs and proven technologies from the last century are more popular than ever. Especially when it comes to masculine products, the old hands among wristwatches are experiencing an enormous upswing now and in the following years.
