One of my best bang-for-the-buck purchases was a Casio Waveceptor watch with a hybrid clock face.

The watch uses the WWVB signal for nightly syncing. However, living on the East Coast means syncing is very dependent on day-to-day atmospheric propagation. When I visit more inland, it works great.

The watch face is solar powered, so I’ve never had to change the battery.

It has since been retired after 8 years of use for an Apple Watch, but I think fondly of the mighty job it did.

I love my cheap waveceptor which is always, always accurate.

Actually in the process of choosing a casio lineage (waveceptor movement, metal case, sapphire crystal) - do I get titanium or blacked out stainless steel, lol
