So, an atomic watch keeps time the same way that any quartz watch keeps time. This doesn’t happen constantly, however, as non-stop communication with an atomic clock would put an unnecessary strain on the watch’s battery life. In fact, an atomic watch relies on various atomic clocks around the world to regulate it. While it might be fun to imagine a little atom of some particular material living inside each atomic watch and somehow being used as a timekeeping mechanism, that’s not exactly how these devices function. We still love that watch, but between its quartet of subdials, dual digital displays, and slide rule bezel, it seems a little too busy. Our previous number one option left due to availability concerns, and our older number three, the Citizen Navihawk AT, slotted back to number four. Those pieces are so fine that they came in at numbers one and three respectively. The latter doesn't look quite as robust, but is firmly rooted in its origins as a classic German timepiece associated with the renowned Bauhaus Art School.
The former is a capable pilot's chronograph with defined style and a rugged build. While our previous example of this ranking was almost completely dominated by Citizen and Casio models, we wanted to diversify a little more this time around, and fortunately for us, models by Seiko and Junghans came along to save the day. And new to our special honors section you'll find a high-end Seiko chronograph with GPS-based radio reception that eliminates the need to change your home city for it to seek a relevant local signal. We also updated one of our more budget friendly models to the CoolFire Solar 1531, which features a more durable band and a classier dial design than its predecessor.Ĭasio's G-Shock models continue to be among the best offerings for atomic timekeeping, and we added a new one in the Casio G-Shock MT-G, a model that bolsters its resin construction with stainless steel for added durability and to bring it line with some of the most popular steel sports models on the market.

If the problem persists, we have a one year warranty.While a lot of the models on our previous list have remained, we saw fit to update a few prominent selections to reflect their company's current lineups, like the Seiko Coutura SSG021, a black PVD-coated model that offers a nice chronograph function with a bright blue ring around its 60-minute subdial that makes it particularly legible.Check the Time Zone switch on the back of the clock. If your clock is off by increments of an hour, the Time Zone (TZ) is set incorrectly.If your clock did not change with Daylight Savings Time (DST), make sure the DST switch on the back of the clock is set to ON.Locate the console at night near a window or outer wall, and away from other radiating sources, like wireless routers or TVs. This will insure the best reception possible. It is possible the clock is in an area with a lot of wireless interference. Test and replace the battery in the clock, if required. Low batteries are often the cause for weak reception.Urban environments can also effect the signal strength. The farther you are from Colorado, the weaker the signal. The signal is better at night due to solar interference during the daytime. The Radio Controlled Clock (RCC) is a shortwave signal originating near Fort Collins, Colorado, and travels thousands of miles by bouncing off the ionosphere. It can take up to a week to adjust to the atomic clock. If your clock never synchronizes to the atomic time, there can be several reasons:
