What is atomic timekeeping on G-SHOCK watches?
On some G-SHOCK watches you may see the words Radio Controlled or
Multiband 6 stamped on the case back or dial. Both of these functions indicate
that the watch will be updated by a time signal from a mast.
How does it work?
There are several radio transmitters located in various locations across the
world. If your G-SHOCK watch is in range of one of these transmitters, it will
receive an automatic time update overnight. All you need to do is set a home
time zone so the watch knows which time to display, you can do this by
following the same four steps as setting a standard watch and selecting your
home city (for the UK, set the watch to LON)

There now six radio transmitters that G-SHOCK radio control watches use
located in the UK, Germany, China, two in Japan and one in North America. Did
you know that CASIO is the only watch brand in the world that uses a
transmitter here in the UK.
If you travel outside the range of one of the radio transmitters, you can use the
WORLD TIME mode to view the time in any time zone and the watch will
automatically calculate the time based on the last radio controlled data it
received.
