I posted about my G-shock watch on this forum probably about 10 years ago. Go look them up. I found mine superbly accurate and being in Tasmania I cannot connect to any LF service. After a while it started to get a little worse and I found you can take the back off and calibrate it.
My rechargeable battery has just started to fail and so I've ordered a new one.
