I have a Casio Pathfinder PAW-2000, which syncs to WWVB (and in theory
to 5 other reference stations).
As I was sitting outside reading the manual after buying it, I laid it
flat
I too have a Wave Ceptor. If you put it in a metal box every night (it
tries to sync from 12midnight to 2AM) you may get it to run unlocked from
WWVB. Mine gets off by a few seconds every month when it runs unlocked, but
is never off by more than a fifth of a second when it locks every night.

Two data points for one watch:
When I bought a Casio PAW-1300, it was about 20 seconds fast. It said that
it had last synced on September 24, but that information does not include

for at least 9 months (though it could

I did much the same thing, but settled on the Seiko astron due to the lack

Last night I put it by a window with 12 o'clock facing out as suggested in the
manual. It says that it synced this morning at 12:04, so I can only assume it
started at midnight and took four minutes. Spot checking it against the NIST
website throughout the day, I can't visually see any
With my new found interest in time nuttiness I thought I should upgrade to a
decently accurate watch. I had some features I was looking for and settled on a
Casio Wave Ceptor. My second choice was an Eco Drive, but the Casio had the
right mix of features at a good price.

It won't be state of the art (I think tvb's cesium wrist watch does that..
but it doesn't have the non-digital display you want)
One would think wristwatches based on the Symmetricom CSAC would be on
the market by now.

Hello The Net:
I need to consider getting a new wrist watch, but I need a second hand
and a digital display is unacceptable.
What would you consider in the 150$ price range ?
Would be nice to have state of the art accuracy with a lifetime
battery and high reliability.
Thanks, Stan,

Just do a Google image search for analog atomic watch. Pick the one
you like. There are several in the $50-$60 price range that are
attractive. Many are solar so there are no batteries to replace.
They're all set by WWVB nightly (usually) so they're well within a
second of accuracy.
