Synctime watch update#

We recommend putting the clock in a window facing towards Colorado and leaving it overnight for a few nights, this usually always works. Will I be able to return the clock if I can't pick up the signal? In most cases people are able to pick up the signal within a day (usually during the first night). How long does it take to pick up the signal?Д®ach case varies depending on the strength of the signal at the time you set up your clock, the sensitivity of the receiver of the clock or watch you have, and your location. If you ever experience difficulty in receiving a signal, try putting your clock near a window. The signal will penetrate almost all buildings, except for commercial steel buildings with few windows. So it may take longer for the clock to pick it up in those locations. The signal is weaker on the east and west coast, The signal covers a radius of 1864 miles from Ft. Will I be able to pick up the time signal where I live? (Information from NIST - visit for more info)

Synctime watch update#

As long as your clock can receive the radio signal, it will update its time to match exactly with UTC and adjusted for your time zone. It is this international time scale which NIST distributes via radio stations (including WWVB) and your clock or watch is programmed to interpret. The Bureau receives time scales from other major nations, averages those scales, and distributes the average as the Coordinated Universal Time (UTC). The National Institute of Standards and Technology then sends this time to the International Bureau of Weights and Measures in Paris, France. This Atomic Clock keeps time which neither gains or loses a second in 30 million years. The government owns and operates an 'Atomic Clock' that is located in Boulder, Colorado. If you have a technical problem with an Atomic Time Product, ask for a technician at We do not recommend taking sync-time watches anywhere else for service or battery replacement. What should I do if I have a problem with my clock/watch?
