Casio Wave Ceptor

signal radio station DCF77 located at Mainﬂingen in Ger- many or 60kHz MSF at Anthorn (formerly transmitting from Rugby, Warwickshire) in the United Kingdom. In Europe the reception range is approximately 1500 kilo- metres. In the United States, they will tune to the 60kHz signal from WWVB at Fort Collins. In Japan, they will tune to the 40kHz signal from JJY at Mount Otakadoya, near Fukushima (Ohtakadoyayama) and the 60kHz signal from the Haganeyama Transmitter at Mount Hagane (Haganeyama). In China, they will tune to the 68kHz signal from BPC at Shangqiu. Some watches can register only some of these signals. The Wave Ceptor watches are not the only radio- controlled wristwatches on the market. The German manufacturer Junghans and other Japanese manufactur- ers such as Seiko and Citizen Watch Co. also have this feature.

Casio Wave Ceptor is a line of radio watches by Casio.

The time setting signals usually come from radio emitting towers. Radio-controlled watches, require no setting or resetting of time, date, daylight saving time, or year; and like most other watches of this kind, they attempt automatic syn- chronization at least once every 24 hours, usually in the middle of the night. Their long-term and short-term accuracy is thus better than 500 ms. As with all radio-controlled watches they revert to free- running quartz accuracy in areas out of range or shielded from time setting signals, which gives them an accuracy equivalent to that of a standard quartz watch. The receivers to which the watches can tune themselves vary by watch submodel. Casio mentions that in Europe, the watches will tune to the 77.5kHz low frequency time
