    @@TimMSUK Agreed. Any smart phone with GPS has to synchronize time with the satellites for proper readings, so your cell phone is already most likely your most accurate time piece. With bluetooth you can sync with your phone, at anytime. You don't need to wait until 12am to 6am in the dead of night. The sync also doesn't take up to 5 to 10 minutes like multiband does. I have several multiband Citizens as well as a Multiband Casio and they are fantastic, but I live in South Florida at the extreme edge of reception from the Fort Collins CO clock. I actually purchased a time sync simulator app on my phone so I can sync my other watches with my iphone on demand if need be. Luckily that's not necessary with the Bluetooth watch.

    @@Usercehdbf you don’t have to connect with your phone to tell time. The sync feature will periodically connect to your phone and auto correct the watch. Just like multiband, only much quicker, and it doesn’t need to be done in the middle of the night. If it can’t sync, it keeps time like a normal quartz watch.

    I see the rcvd tag on the second screen. Never seen that on a bluetooth watch before. It will tell you when it connects to the phone for a time update? On my Oceanus if I turn on bluetooth then multiband shuts off and vice versa. As much as bluetooth may be more accurate there is nothing like waking up in the morning and having your watch to set up to the correct time almost every day without a phone assist, if you are lucky enough to be in range. I probably would bite on this if it had multi-band as an option. I am lucky it works for me in NJ, but I found that one spot in my house that works like a charm.
