Radio-controlled watches: Accurate to the second
The search for a new watch is always something special. It should, of course, do justice to your personal style. Durability and value are certainly also important to you. And it should probably also have that certain something. But what features do you definitely not want to do without in your new watch? If precision and ease of use are your top priorities, then a radio-controlled watch is just the thing for you. Radio-controlled watches automatically synchronise themselves to the time of maximum precision atomic clocks. Manually changing or setting your wristwatch is therefore a thing of the past - because your radio-controlled watch does it all by itself.

What different radio-controlled watches are there?
Radio-controlled watches not only impress with their precision. The numerous functions, the use of high-quality materials and the charming design of the various types of radio-controlled watches are also impressive. In this section, we give you an overview of the different radio-controlled watches. Whether a sporty model with a digital display or a solar-powered watch with environmentally friendly long-term operation - you decide which type of watch suits you best.
A radio-controlled watch with digital display: sporty and precise
If you are looking for a radio-controlled wristwatch that goes well with sporty outfits, then you should take a closer look at the digital radio-controlled watches. Large displays and LED lighting on these wristwatches ensure that you can read the time and date clearly and quickly. And if you also want to wear your digital radio-controlled watch during sports, you should look out for models with resin wristbands. This material is flexible, shock-resistant and therefore particularly recommended for sporting activities. These radio-controlled wristwatches are also extremely light and comfortable to wear due to the low weight of the material.
Advantages:
- Precise to the second with radio-controlled digital display
- Water-resistant up to 20 bar, depending on model
- Robust materials, well suited to an active lifestyle
Analogue radio-controlled clocks: All-rounders with style
If you prefer to look for a wristwatch that is suitable for a casual business outfit, analogue radio-controlled watches deserve your special attention. A classic dial, simple design and high-quality materials such as stainless steel or titanium make these radio-controlled wristwatches the ideal accessory for anyone with style. And despite their traditional appearance, you don't have to compromise on technology: you don't have to worry about rate deviations with radio-controlled watches with an analogue display. The time is set and changed automatically, so there is no need to readjust the hands manually. Depending on the model, there are additional features such as an alarm function with several daily alarms, a timer or an automatic calendar. This makes your analogue radio-controlled watch a practical aid for business and leisure activities.
Advantages:
- Maximum precision thanks to automatic time setting
- Available in various modern and elegant designs as well as different colour variations
- Water-resistant up to 5 bar
Radio-controlled clocks with solar: reliable companions
Radio-controlled clocks promise precise timing. If you want to go one better in terms of reliability and convenience, then solar radio-controlled watches are particularly recommended. These watches hardly differ visually from other analogue watches. This is because the solar modules are inconspicuously embedded in the dial and are barely visible to the naked eye. In addition, the mini solar cells provide a permanent supply of energy through light. With a solar radio-controlled watch, you are not only stylishly on the move, but also have an environmentally friendly alternative on your wrist.
Advantages:
- Longer runtime thanks to solar-supported power supply
- No more battery changes necessary
- No manual adjustment for time changes
- Waterproof up to 5 bar
Which radio-controlled wristwatch is right for me?
Our radio-controlled watches not only fulfil the highest standards of accuracy and reliability, but are also characterised by aesthetic designs and outstanding wearing comfort. In this section you will find more details about the different models of the WAVE CEPTOR brand so that you can choose the radio-controlled watch that meets your requirements.
Radio-controlled sports watches: WV Series
With the WAVE CEPTOR WV series, sporty looks meet functionality. The radio-controlled watches with digital display automatically calibrate themselves with the current time up to six times a day. In addition, useful features such as a stopwatch and countdown timer can support you during your training sessions, while the safety clasp ensures that your watch always stays on your wrist.
In addition, some models, such as the WV-200RD, are water-resistant up to 20 bar - meaning that this digital radio-controlled watch can be worn while swimming, surfing or snorkelling without any worries.
Analogue radio-controlled clocks: LCW and WVA series
The WAVE CEPTOR models in the WVA and LCW series offer classic analogue watch designs with that little something extra. These radio-controlled wristwatches also synchronise with the exact time several times a day. What's more, several models have a dual time function. This allows you to keep an eye on the precise time in two time zones
Another practical feature is that all WAVE CEPTOR analogue watches run on a combination of battery and solar power or are equipped with Tough Solar technology, which promises environmentally friendly long-term operation. You will also find particularly high-quality watches in this model series, such as the LCW-M170DB-1A. The purist black colour gives this radio-controlled watch a high-quality look, which is enhanced by materials such as stainless steel and sapphire crystal. The unobtrusive case width of just 39.5 mm not only favours the elegant look, but also ensures a pleasant wearing comfort.

Radio-controlled watches: What are frequently asked questions?
Do you want to find out more about the accuracy or functionality of a radio-controlled watch? In this section, we answer some of the most frequently asked questions about radio-controlled clock technology.
How accurate is a radio-controlled watch?
Radio-controlled watches run in synchronisation with the radio signals of the most precise watches in the world - atomic clocks. These work with a rate accuracy that allows a maximum deviation of one second in a million years. When it comes to accurate timekeeping, a radio-controlled watch is by far the most reliable of all wristwatches.
How does a radio-controlled watch work?
The time signals of atomic clocks are transmitted worldwide by radio towers, so-called time signal transmitters. In Germany, radio-controlled watches from CASIO receive the pulses from the Physikalisch-Technische Bundesanstalt in Braunschweig and always adjust the time and date precisely to the signals transmitted every second.
Where can I find radio-controlled watch towers?
Worldwide, there are only six of the so-called time signal transmitters that broadcast radio time. There is one radio tower each in Germany, Great Britain, the USA and China. There are also two more radio towers in Japan. This means that Europe, Japan, the USA, Canada, China and large parts of Central and South America are supplied with radio-controlled time.
Incidentally, most CASIO radio-controlled watches are able to receive the time signals from the radio-controlled towers around the world. CASIO radio-controlled watches are therefore not only accurate to the second in Europe. So you can also rely on the convenience of radio-controlled precision when travelling internationally.
Tip: The number of time signals a CASIO radio-controlled watch can receive varies depending on the model. Before buying a watch, find out which radio signal receivers your favourite model contains. You will find this information directly under the technical details and specifications of your favourite item.
