    I knew who Greg was talking about from the get go. For me, Atomic timekeeping is not a deal breaker, and while I don't need to the second accuracy like Atomic and nightly auto-setting provides, it's just such a neat feature, I love it.
    I actually don't mind watching the other guys videos...but somebody like Greg will always have that extra level of trust. I believe what Greg is saying, because of how Greg carries himself. Plus, when he has tons of videos and I've NEVER seen a single clock or watch not set correctly to the second(unless it is off for a reason, like his digital watch accuracy video)...that means something.

    Talking about 'The time teller', right Yeah, he did another one last week again talking about budgets.
    I'm not an American, but even I could actually look up the budget information for your country could not find any info on the cuts to the Atomic time anywhere. He was also complaining about the cost difference which in regards to Casio watches you can always buy the cheaper watch.
    Then he went on a rant about BlueTooth and how you have to turn on the app then sync the watch to the app. Not actually realising that you don't even need the app running and the watch syncs to the time on the phone, you don't have to touch a thing.
    I put it down to just a plain rant. You know the meme 'Old man screams at cloud.'

    The first time I ever considered buying a casio Multi Band 6 watch was after seeing one of Greg's videos. I looked into it, and as I live in the UK and it would be worthwhile for me.

    Ironically, regarding your intro, based on what I've seen of your in-depth overviews of watches so far, I think you're much more of an authority than most. So thanks for that and keep up the great work. And yes, I had heard the rumor, which to me didn't seem entirely implausible with them changing TV standards and whatnot, just very unlikely, since it is such a widely used and needed public service. Heck, as a last resort, I'd even set up a radio transmitter, if I had to. I'm sure that there are a lot more people a lot more capably than me that will insure that I'll never need to, presumably even in the US government, regardless of what anyone cares to think of it at _any given time..._

    I lost faith in the accuracy of his reviews when he reviewed a Timex chronograph (This $47 Watch Changed My Opinion Of Timex! - which in fairness he liked) but said he was disappointed in the lume!
    You guessed it, he hadn't read the manual or just didn't know enough about a world-famous American brand to know that if you push the crown in , the whole face lights up, much better than any lume. It took his followers to tell him in the comments.

    Atomic clock synchronization by radio is a marvelous technology. Even if you live in a hollow or shadow, or an old house with lead paint, as I do, the feature can readily be used with an android app such as that put out by Junghans. The Junghans app is a vast step up from what was previously cludged together by Casio in a rush in the aftermath of an Earthquake that shut down a radio tower in Japan.
    The Ft. Collins radio shutdown scare was the result of a misinterpretation of a federal government funding exercise. It was never intended to be made public. Federal Government financial appropriations are a weird and esoteric world, largely divorced from logic.
    Some people may prefer bluetooth synchronization to radio synchronization. To each his own. I prefer the older and simpler technology.

    There is an element of utility in the fact that I like the atomic function, but the dominant reason I like it is more the “coolness” of the tech and some of the history behind the atomic clock. If you’re thinking about the watch in purely utilitarian terms , I can see the case that mainstream consumers of g-shocks may not get too much added value that warrants the extra £ . Lots of aspects of watch channels can be annoying , but I’m an advocate of folks having a go without being world leading experts .

      I agree, but if you claim to be a "watch channel," and by the way are selling merchandise based on being a "watch channel," then the bare minimum you should know is the basics of watches and how they work. The problem is he's not really a "watch channel," he's a "merchandising channel," yet another of these "entrepreneurs" who wants to position himself as an "authority" on a subject based on the number of subscribers he has, his presence on social media, and his ability to market himself as an authority. He's not qualified, which is painfully obvious watching his content. It's not that he doesn't know what he's talking about, that's not the problem; the problem is that he presents himself as if he DOES know what he's talking about. That just perpetuates misinformation, and misinformation is NOT "harmless."

    I live in Spain and have heard the German and UK stations were getting shut down too. They are still up and running.
    Anyway, thanks to Greg I have the Junghams app installed on my phone which would set my Multiband 6 to atomic time anyway.
    The Casio Multiband watches are great and work well. When I am in Ireland my watch sets itself easily from the UK atenna. In the South of Spain where I live it's a bit more difficult to pick up the signal from the German atenna. However, I have found that it works most nights and that's fine by me.
    I think Multiband is well worth the extra money, especially paired with the Tough Solar system.

      @@GoodTimekeeper Yeah, I've used the Fort Collins Colorado radio transmission for many years if not decades to set old and new "atomic" alarms and clocks alike. Best time to get the signal is in the middle of the night so the waves can bounce off the ionosphere, putting something in a westward facing window or similar with a view of the sky above the horizon, assuming you're to the east, of course. Often these devices will pick up the signal on their own sooner or later anyway, though it might take a couple days. At least that's been my experience. And boy is it accurate. I've tested it to within 1 second accuracy, often several seconds more accurate than my cell phone even.

To accomplish this amazing feat, I looked at a map to get an idea of the compass bearing of Fort Collins relative to my location, and then I looked at the owner's manuals to see where the watches' antennas are located (12 o'clock on Casio, 9 o'clock on Citizen). Then I simply point any given watch's antenna in the approximate direction of Fort Collins before going to bed and it almost always syncs up overnight.
    This technology is completely archaic in 2024, but I love it nonetheless because it is so cool 😎

    I had a friend many years ago who needed an accurate watch for timing a multi day event. He went to the dollar store and bought 10 cheap $1 quartz digital watches, set them all with WWV and checked them a week later. He then used the one that kept the most accurate time for the event. $10 for an accurate watch sounded like a great idea to me! I don't think they even make these cheap watches anymore, and if they do, they're probably $2.50 each now . Still, $25 isn't so bad. :-)

      I prefer GPSDO's and Atomic Clocks myself, but I am merely highlighting a technique one could use in a pinch if one needed a more accurate timepiece. That being said, I would like to note my friend didn't take temperature into account, so his entire procedure might have been flawed, but it IS a useful technique. Perhaps for others knowing a more correct time is more than a status symbol.

      @@ernestsmith3581I have over 50 quartz watches, the "worst" gains about 30 seconds/month, the best gains about 2 seconds within a half year. I don't care at all for atomic/GPS/ Bluetooth timekeeping at all, knowing that a month is roughly 2.6 million seconds, the 30 seconds off are next to nothing. I do have GPS watches and a few radio controlled Casio s though, but I simply don't care for their "accuracy".

    The real problem is the lack of sufficient coverage across the US: anyone more than 700 miles straight-line from Ft. Collins will have intermittent signal, and those >1200 miles away will pick it up infrequently except during the winter. Alaska and Hawaii? Once or twice a year if you're lucky.
    Far better tech is GPS-based, which is why I rely on a Citizen Satellite Wave as my reference standard now.

    I stopped watching videos from people that obviously can’t be bothered with reading the manual for a watch they are reviewing. The simple-minded are unaware of their own ignorance. As a person acquires knowledge, they learn how much more they do not know.

      I think Dubai is out-of-range for the Multiband 6 transmitters in Europe, China and Japan. But if you buy a G-Shock with Bluetooth (or one which has Multband 6 AND Bluetooth in the same watch) then you'll still get that atomic time accuracy anywhere you are (along with your smartphone).

    I can tell from your other videos and from this one that you are very passionate about watches. I agree with you that the video you are responding to seems very ill informed.
    For this video I would say try to focus on atomic sync watches and what are the pros and cons of the tech.
    Why do you think this technology may stay on for a while. Aside from regular home usage who else uses this? Is it used as backup for NTP or GPS time on critical services such as healthcare? I just want to provide some constructive criticism, keep up the good work!
