Why does a watch need radio wave control? Contrary to appearances, this is a very practical feature that accounts for the exceptional quality of the performance of the time-measuring device. Thanks to such an option, our watch will be able to be perfectly calibrated, without any effort on the part of the user himself. Whether there is a change to daylight saving time, or we are just starting to use the watch - we do not have to toil in setting the time - this technology associated with controlling the mechanism will do it for us.
The first radio-controlled wristwatch appeared on the market in the early 1990s. Since then, significant development of this technology has taken place. The evolution of Radio Controlled has moved from simple relays to much more complex and professionalized instruments that base their operation on communications with satellites. This makes radio control even more accurate and more widely available to watch users. Models with satellite connectivity gain functionality that is not only limited to time calibration, but also, for example, to record the route we have traveled.
How do radio-controlled watches actually work? Such a watch, by means of radio waves, receives signals from the nearest atomic clock in real time - it just needs to be within its range (the maximum ranges of atomic clock transmitters reach from 500 to even 1500 km). Among the most popular Radio Controlled watches we can find, first of all, models of the famous Japanese brand Citizen. The manufacturers of these watches claim that the margin of error of the mechanisms placed in their devices is 1 second per 100 thousand years! This proves that watches with Radio Controlled mechanisms are among the most precise types of timepieces in the world. The purchase of such a model is sure to satisfy even the most finicky customers, expecting perfect functioning from a watch.
In the offer of our store you will find a wide selection of Citizen watches with Radio Controlled function. Also come to our stationary store in Warsaw at 31 Witosa Avenue in Panorama Gallery and check the operation of watches equipped with this function with your own eyes. Our team will be happy to provide you with more information about the technologies used in the watches.
