Radio Controlled Watches

Also referred to as Radio Controlled watches, Radio Controlled watches are among the most accurate watches you can own. Although the technology used in these watches has been around since the 1950s, the first radio-controlled wrist watches were not made until 1991. How does this watch work and why should you own it?

A brief history of radio-controlled watches

The system used in radio-controlled watches was used as early as the 1950s. It was created by Junghans, which later built the first solar table watch. This watch was also called the Radio Controller Solar 1, and is therefore radio controlled watch also known as Radio Controlled.

Although the technology had been known for many years before, the first radio-controlled wristwatch, the Mega 1 from Junghans, was not made until 1991. Since this year, other major companies such as Casio, Seiko and Citizen have also started to produce their own radio-controlled watches, which are characterised by their accuracy.

So if you're running late everywhere, then you should definitely own at least one radio-controlled watch. In fact, it is the most accurate watch that has no other competitor in the world.

How do radio-controlled watches work?

The accuracy of a radio-controlled watch is due to its operating system. The key is the watch's ability to connect to the atomic clock transmitter, which must be within a radius of at least 500-1,500 km for the watch to pick up the signal.

The watch connects to an atomic clock, which has a microwave cavity hidden in it that contains a gas. This then absorbs any microwaves and the cavity in the clock oscillates the electronic amplifier.

Radio-controlled watches are connected to the atomic clocks regularly, once a night, which ultimately makes them absolutely accurate. Radio-controlled clocks are estimated to move 1 second every 100 000 years. Therefore, it is also a very high quality watch that is part of the heritage in many families. Although it may seem very expensive and rather like a vintage watch, you can also own a radio-controlled watch in a stylish design.

The design, quality, material of the slide are also reflected in the price. Radio-controlled watches can range from € 65 to € 1 100. The price in this case is again related to the brand, quality, durability and the number of functions that radio-controlled watches have.

However, the most expensive in this case are radio-controlled watches Casio G-Shock MT-G. Among the more expensive radio-controlled watches we can also include the watches Citizen Radio Controlled. Choose your radio-controlled watch and be everywhere to the second.
