It is now 2023 and the time transmission services from governments is still operating and being maintained. I like the atomic time keeping watches because they are always precise. The price difference is not something to worry about!

You said nothing about what makes radio control worthless. You rant about it costing twice as much. To me having a watch that can automatically set the time, especially around Day Light Savings time, is well worth paying extra. $100 for this feature seems very fair to me. You have reviewed and recommended more expensive watches that have fewer features (even ignoring the radio control feature), are less accurate, and harder to read (though I prefer analog faces, I don't like sweeping hands). Why is an automatic worth paying hundreds when a radio controlled watch is not worth $100? You mentioned NIST might shutdown WWVB. That is of course a legitimate problem and always will be. Of course while NIST was make my that statement I wouldn't recommend a radio controlled watch. But just because NIST could shut it down doesn't make the feature worthless. You don't see the point in the technology. Fair enough. You view it as overpriced. That stems from the fact you don't see the point in the technology, not from an analysis of pros and cons. This whole video was a rant, contained nothing about the value or lack thereof of the technology. Why is radio control not worth the extra price? Why is a watch that automatically sets itself a useless feature?

Watch collecting is not a rational endeavor, spending thousands on an Swiss movement automatic dive watch that is outperformed by the Japanese solar quartz certified dive watch I'm currently wearing is not rational, and owning 20 watches is not either (don't get me started on "investment"). So why would you expect a rational and utilitarian argument from a vlog about watch collecting?

I disagree. Radio controlled atomic timekeeping is my favourite function in a G-Shock. You never have to set the time, and it works very consistantly. Pair it with Tough Solar technology, and you don't have to change batteries for years to come.

You have no clue what your talkin about, I bought a GW-5600j in 2005 for $60bucks that I've been wearing on a freight dock for 13 years. I can't even begin to tell you the abuse this thing has seen. Never have to set the time, in fact it syncs every day, and it's identical to the time clock at work, that's extremely important for my needs. No battery replacements it's solar. Two or three strap replacements and that's it, best watch I've ever owned, and I've owned a lot of them.

I live in Europe, so this video is more or less pointless for me, since radio signals will continue to work here. That being said, I have a cheap atomic casio (not a G Shock) that cost me 25 euros (less than a good watch strap) It sits on a shelf in my bedroom, never fails to sync every night, always tells split-second perfect time, has an alarm, backlight, timer, world time, perpetual calendar, chronometer. When I pick up one of my mechanical/automatic watches and it's not running I always use that casio as reference time to set it. Also when I'm doing stuff where I could potentially damage my watch (working on my car, mowing the lawn, playing with my dog, etc) I simply wear that casio, it's so cheap that I don't care if it gets scratched or dinged, and so far it has stood up well to the abuse. If you ask me it's been 25 well spent euros.

The atomic version is still very cheap anyway. It just costs more than the non atomic. Yet matey would happily spend multiples of this small sum just to get his Rolex serviced.

I totally disagree. 90bucks for the 5610 is absolutely fair. There are other g shocks that's aren't worth what Casio asks for them. For example the 2600$ MR-G. Ok, it's titanium, Sapphire and GPS+Atomic, but it doesn't even have auto illuminator. It goes to sleep everytime the display is in the dark for a few hours, and the only thing to wake it up again is a push on the light button or bright light. So every time I look at the watch the seconds hand is stuck at 12 o'clock parking position and I need to press the light button TWICE to just tell the time. Glad I only payed 500bucks for this otherwise bulletproof tank of a watch that even wears better than the 5610.

It hasn’t gone away bro…

I’m in the UK and apart from the clocks in my cars and microwave oven all my quartz watches and clocks are atomic time controlled. It’s a convenience feature, as is automatic winding on my mechanical watches. It would be less of a feature if setting the time were as simple as pulling out and rotating a crown, but setting digital watches seems more complicated than disarming an atomic bomb so I’ve paid to opt out of it.

You’re ignoring that it is solar too. Also it may be double the price but in actual dollars most people can swing the extra $40.

@nevahenuf

5 жыл бұрын

Yeah long term the solar probably will save you money and you don't disturb the integrity of the case seal.

I absolutely completely disagree that atomic timekeeping is a gimmick. Maybe the Atomic timekeeping might work better in some places than others, but here in the UK, my GW-7900-1ER has updated at 2:04 am every single morning without fail since I’ve had it for over a year. I absolutely love the fact I never have to set it, including at British summertime, and I love the fact I can always know it’s bang on accurate all of the time. Like I said, definitely NOT a gimmick.

Well, you get solar power and a world time funktion aswell and living in europe I’m not affected what the us is up to. I’d say it’s a bargain. But sure, if you do live in the us get the one with just solar and world time, in between in price.

I find the atomic clock radio set feature of a number of these watches to be quite useful. For one they do not need to be connected to a smartphone or need to use gps in order set the time to an exact standard. If the US shuts down their radio station then they will still work in a large part of the world, and in the US can be set either manually or by using a phone app called "clock wave" to set the time to exact time. The argument that price is a major issue might carry more weight if you were recommending purchasing the cheapest digital watch on the market as long as it had all the same features, multiple times, alarms, etc. That being said, I might add that the cheapest digital watch on the market likely has more complications, features, and more accurate time keeping than any mechanical watch made. Where watched are concerned often price is not the final word in the decision making process. I very much enjoy your channel, if not always agreeing with your comments.

Whenever a video of this guy gets into my recommendations, it always makes me wonder if this is a parody channel or something? Did you seriously just ignore the solar function completely and also the fact that not everyone lives in the US?

The reason I really like atomic watches is the same reason I would never buy an automatic. Even though I know it does not matter in the whole scheme of things, I like my watches to be exact all the time. I have had both of my atomic G-shocks for a very long time so I have gotten my money's worth, but it will be annoying and render those watches useless to me if the atomic signal is discontinued next year. Actually, now I mostly wear a Garmin Fenix 5 running watch so I get the exact time via bluetooth. Hopefully, the government does not find some way to cancel that.

I just found myself a GXW-56BB-1ER for just over 100 Euro, and I'm so glad I was patient enough to wait for this one instead of buying the non-atomic GX version. Any new quartz watch I buy has to be: A = solar and B = atomic. Anyhow... 2023 by now and yet all my atomic Casio watches are still syncing nicely every night 😏.

Very annoying for Americans if they do close down the atomic clock radio signal. However, I love the atomic clock feature on my G-shock. It’s worth every $ of the extra cost imo. It synchronises every night and I can set my mechanicals to it rather than logging onto time.is on my mobile all the time. It’s also great knowing I never have to set the time manually. Hopefully here in the UK at least the radio signals will be continuing..... Disagree with you on this one: it’s a super useful feature!

2023, my GW-M 5610U watch sets it's self to the correct time every night at 1AM. in the UK. I use it to regulate my other Casios as well.

The Casio GWM5610-1 has Atomic time keeping, Solar, world clock, water resistant to 200 m, alarms, auto light, and its a gshock so its tough. All that for under 100 bucks is a pretty fair price in my opinion. Especially since the radio signals are remaining open. The non-atomic version for 40 bucks is pretty basic and only has the water resistant and gshock features. The more expensive version offers much more than just atomic time keeping for the money.

Atomic G-Shocks are great

I’m from the UK and I have had my GW-M5610 for nearly two months now. Even if it the atomic wasn’t a useful feature, which I find it is as I even set my other digital Casio watches to it, but it is a cool feature which after all is why we are here, because we are interested in the different qualities and mechanisms not to mention the added benefits of the 5610 like world time and solar charge which add to the cool factor and talking points. Also on Amazon at the moment the DW-5600E is less than £13 cheaper than the 5610 which just makes the 5610 seem like a complete bargain which in reality I think it is, it is just that the 5600 is arguably more of a bargain

My first good watch was/is (still works even if the acrylic crystal is thrashed) a Casio Waveceptor Tough Solar. Trust it more than even my phone. Yea, put it in the window to receive the signal, $100 back 18+ years ago, maybe 20? But it still works even though it needs yet another strap replacement, and the only other attention it needs is sunlight, sit in a window at night (no prob, why are you sleeping with your watch?), and occasional hand realignment. Your love letter to the Mudmaster GWG-1000 made that my "Grail". I'm wearing its successor, the GWG-2000, as I type this. And yes, it goes in the window at night to receive atomic time. Y'gotta have an atomic radio clock in your life. Why not be your watch too?

Only if you live in the USA though. Haven't heard of any other signals being axed.

But then again, maybe I truly am the loser in this scenario, because my city of YVR (Vancouver, Canada) won't sync to the same time as LAX, despite being in the same time zone. This forces me to sync to a city that I no longer like in order to get the correct time (YVR shows as one hour late - 10pm shows as 9pm). This must be a programming error by Casio, which is bizarre from a company that probably should know how to program sophisticated digital timepieces. Makes me want to start my own watch channel just to rant!!! I'm wondering how many other cities are incorrectly configured, or if this mistake only affects a small batch of modules. The watch in question was bought pre-owned, albeit in unblemished condition, but it was originally purchased new in Australia, so therefore if the batch of defective modules was isolated to the Australian market, most owners would never know that YVR doesn't work. So far all other functions work as advertised.

I realized later it synced the time every day, which is also kinda cool I guess. You can literally pop it onto your wrist and forget about it until the funeral.

I have a Casio Oceanus S100, which is atomic clock synchronised and I love it. With it's titanium carbide case, excellent bracelet and zaratzu polishing, it was great value at well under £400. It's such a fantastic grab and go watch. It also serves as a very handy reference for all of my mechanical watches, when it comes to setting them again after they've stopped.

NIST actually does a lot of cool stuff, but the general public has never heard of them and wouldn't miss them if NIST stopped doing them, so they had to threaten to cut their most public-facing service. Kind of like the National Park Service trying to close high profile facilities like the WWII and Viet Nam Memorials that aren't normally staffed (and paying emergency staff to keep people out) during the government shutdown(s).

Precisely. It's called the Washington Monument Strategy in political rhetoric. Jory is right that someone in his audience likely doesn't need the feature but it's also used industrially and by disabled people.

They are still running, and adding features to the signal. It's even better now! Shutting down is not going to happend.

A lot depends on where you live. In the UK the DW-5600 (battery, not atomic) is slightly more expensive than the GW-M5610 which is atomic and solar. Even at their normal prices the M5610 is only 50% more, not twice as much. Also our time signals will continue well past 2019.

Have any signals been terminated? Still good with atomic watches? False alarm?

Yeah, it's a false alarm. Can confirm here in the US. But also, if you think about it, it seems very silly that they'd ever stop transmission, or even if they did as a worst case scenario, prevent others from transmitting it. You know how those HAM guys in their bunkers can be sometimes...

I had an g shock atomic watch for 10 years and I love it.

I own two citizen atomic watches as my tool watches for work. I use them also when I set my mechanical watches. Love them to death.

It's 2021. Have they shut down the signal for atomic clocks?

do these atomic watches work in middle-eastern regions such as Saudi-Arabia or Iran?

Here it is April 21 and atomic watches still sync!

Ah, how I love Greg Anderson’s channel The Good Timekeeper. So reliable, and knowledgeable

2022 and atomic multi band 6 Casio still working USA....?

There are open source projects that would let you broadcast your own WWVB signal in your house to sync your atomic clocks and watches with NTP, so not useless.

Just wait until Jory sees how much the GW-5000 costs.

You can't say the 5610 variations are under $100 with solar and atomic aren't worth it and then say the gx55b1 that's more expensive and doesnt have atomic is worth it, when it's just a chunkier square. This wasn't fair for atomic in your comparisons. Also this whole video only really applies to the US if the radio transmitter goes down (which it might not, and also you have two other transmitters which may be usable for atomic timekeeping, if the one going down is even the one that's being used for atomic timekeeping). I get it. Paying an extra $60 for atomic timekeeping does seem silly. It should be more expensive, but this is definitely an over-inflated price for sure. I'd still rather have an m5610 with multiband 6 than get a gx56bb1 without it any day of the week. In fact I also paid brand new retail price of ~£190 for the mtg-910d-2ver the mission impossible 3 gshock which has all the same features as an m5610 for twice the price, so yes, atomic is definitely worth it as far as I'm concerned.

How do I adjust the time on a wave-ceptor watch if my country isn't covered with the atomic time frequency?

I purchased my first watch ever being a G Shock Rangeman with the Atomic feature. And hands down absolutely love it. I never even have to think about wether the watch is accurate or not because it syncs every night when I'm sleeping. Granted there were a couple times it didn't auto sync. But I manually activated the sync function and was off the the races with no issue. I've ran into a few people that didn't have an atomic feature and we talked about comparing our watches and there's were typically off by a few minutes. Would definitely be a hassle to constantly calibrate your watch all the time

It's October 2020, my decade old G-shock just synced to the atomic clock this morning.

The WWVB just keeps going & going & going...just like these atomic solar watches!

Watched this and was convinced. Bought the DW5600 and received it today. HATE the recessed adjust button. Makes it nearly impossible to press with your finger. Going to return and get the 5610 for the solar and upgraded buttons.

Before I got into mechanical watches, I was interested in one of the Citizen versions as a watch that can both set and charge itself seemed very convenient. Nowadays, they (specifically Citizen, not G-Shock) just seem to run too expensive despite how useful they could be as a master to sync the rest of your collection to without needing to log on to a site. That potential benefit has made me interested in a Marathon atomic time wall clock, however, which kind of makes me wonder if Canada would pick up the role for North America if the US ends the signal?

wow. this video didn't age well. you're not great at amazon shopping. like. I got the tough solar 6 band atomic 5610 for 140. with the inverted screen. i bought it a week after you published this video too. also those atomic radio towers aren't shutting off 3 years later. and now India is going to add one.

The Tough Solar, with its 10 year battery life, alone makes the gwm5610 a better buy. It also has a power save function, and auto EL mode in addition to world time (perfect watch when traveling). As for the atomic feature, as of today WWVB is still being broadcast out of Colorado, and for people outside the US and Canada this is a non-issue. Even still, if the signal is stopped in the future, one could easily download an emulated version of the JJY signal from Japan, then use the world time function for the city they live in thus saving the atomic time function for North American users. So, have to disagree with this video.

I have a Citizen Navihawk A-T atomic watch and absolutely LOVE IT. I love that I dont have to set my time at all. Just have to determine if the city/ country you're in uses daylight savings. Not here to convince anyone but just wanted to share.

Opportunity is knocking. Someone needs to invent and market an electronic clock you can buy that will transmit a signal on the same frequency as NIST to set your atomic watches. Perhaps Invicta or Movado!

Or just use the atomic signal app on your smartphone. That what I use to sync my G-Shocks since I’m on the outside edge of the radio signal in North America.

I have three AT Citizens and I love never having to set them, or the date, or worry about DST. They are the reference to which I set my automatics and hand winds.

I have Casio G-Shock GW-7900B-1ER Atomic Watch and live in UK the watch is very accurate with time keeping and receives radio signal everyday after midnight.

so did they stop shut down the atomic radios?

Twice nothing is still nothing. Said another way, when you spend a great deal of time talking about multi-thousand dollar watches, it makes little sense to care about an extra $50.

In the UK on Amazon the difference between the 5600 & 5610 is US$12! I think I'll ask my nephew to get me one in Florida next year .Er, forgot , the ' encouragement ' would cost me more than$12..s$%t!

I can’t see the UK ever getting rid of the atomic signal. I guess, thanks to the Donaldmeister, the USA are gonna get rid of theirs for a saving of a few bucks. I wear an Atomic G shock to work everyday and wear my mechanicals when I’m not on duty. It’s just handy to slap my G shock on my wrist without ever worrying about setting the time or date or anything, it just works perfectly all the time. It’s an old GW-002e that I bought for £30 a few years back. I’ve bought and sold the GW5610 just to make money, in the past.

Ummm... American Budgets are set by Congress, Senate ratifies and adds/subtracts a few things, and President signs. This idea was put forth by Congress, which means "the Donaldmeister" had nothing to do with it.

Here in 2023 the kept the atomic clock sync…… how do you feel now?

I paid $65 for a gw6900 on sale. Do you think I wasted my money or no? That’s an honest question too. I wasn’t sure but it was on sale so I picked it up. 100 down to 65

i like the 5610 better its just better to have the atomic time
