Hi
Im about to buy a GWG-1000
I was talking to Casio trough Facebook today and when i asked what the difference between buying an GWG 1000 in Sweden compared to buying a DR model was they said that a watch bought in Europe would intercept the signal from an antenna in Germany to calibrate time and that a Japanese model would only intercept the signal from japan cause of another radio frequency. So to my question, is this true? Will the DR watch not intercept the signal or can i change the frequency on my own so it does? (i live in Sweden) And if it don't do I really need time calibration through radio transmitting? I would be happy if just the summer/winter time worked.
Please scroll down and read what i pasted from their website.
Anyone here bought a DR GWG-1000 that could enlighten me on any other differences?
If this thread by any chance got wrong please move it to where it should be, Pardon me i'm new here.
Best regards
Emil.
The following is copied from the specs of a GWG-1000 at G-shocks website.
Multi-Band Atomic Timekeeping (US, UK, Germany, Japan, China)
Receives time calibration radio signals which keep the displayed time accurate
Auto receive function (up to 6 times per day/up to 5 times per day for China)
Manual receive function
Signal: US WWVB, UK MSF, Germany DCF77, Japan JJY40/JJY60, China BPC
Frequency: US 60kHz, UK 60kHz, Germany 77.5kHz, Japan 40/60kHz, BPC 68.5kHz
And this is from Casio Europe/Swedens site.
Whether you are in Europe, North America and Japan or parts of Canada, Central America and China - once the watch has been set to the local time zone, it receives the relevant signal and shows the exact time. In many countries, it also sets summer and winter on their own.
