Great to hear that on top of all the great features it actually doesn’t drift that much. Thanks for the mention, glad the tip helped. I haven’t rated mine. I did rate my seiko chronometer which i sometimes use using split time chrono, using the Casio as a reference. This is just because the seiko holds better in the hand while taking sights and has bigger buttons. Using just the Casio alone is fine. I think if you like the whole timekeeping theme without the use of GPS time you should look into the reception of time signals on HF.
I have a look at HF time reception, what little I know if it suggests it is not always available and depends on weather day/night etc and requires a dedicated aerial and receiver.
It is an esoteric interest now, but it is not imprecise. With a human making measurements it cannot be as exact as GPS but that is because of human imprecision, not intrinsic weakness in the system which can be more exact than GPS using large land based telescopes and automated measurement.
I have a question. Does it automatically sync time? Or does it sync only when you push the signal button? :) i will be in Indonesia and I am not sure if it can sync there.
Yes is automatically syncs time every 24 hours. You can manually sync between automatic updates if required. I'm not sure it will work in Indonesia. The nearest transmitters are in Fukushima and Fukuoka Japan and the watch manual gives them a range of 1000km so indonesia is a stretch. I'd be interested to know if it works.
For navigation certainly. Mine has repeatedly been doused with sea and rain water and has never faltered. It is a utilitarian design. It's very well made with large easy buttons and a functional, easily read display and light. I'm not a watch type but those who are would probably not describe as beautiful though.
VERY VERY Helpful , thanks !

That sounds quite useful, but I'm still going to end up with a fix that tells me "somewhere in the Pacific Ocean"!

Question: Is this watch beautiful and worth buying and acquiring?

Is the watch industry Japanese or Chinese?
