The signal that you got the signal!

Multi-band 6 is a great feature on a lot of Casio watches keeping them accurate to a fraction of a second.

I made a typo that I just corrected. It is a WV-59R-1AJF.
Here's one of the earliest Casios with atomic timekeeping - something I found a few years back. Worked with the first atomic radio band out of Germany in the 90s.

Cool. I never have been able to find a definitive date when it first started.
I wish this feature worked in Australia. I’ve tried but it doesn’t pick up the signal.

I have noticed that when people in Australia post MB6 watches the RCVD marker is never present so I assumed that they were out of range.
